In this work, mechanisms that admit efficient kinematic computations are studied. The computationally efficient mechanisms are a special class of linkages that their constraint equations contain lower-order terms than that of the ordinary linkages. The lower-order constraint equations are of low computational complexity and thus readily solved. In the paper, case studies are carried out for mechanisms up to 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) and some interesting kinematic results are revealed. Examples of computationally efficient mechanisms are also presented.

Intense competition between top-level track cycling athletes rEq.uires research to make optimisation possible. In this context, the energetic efficiency of roller chain drives is studied to improve understanding of loss sources and to propose improvements. Losses in chain drives are mainly caused by the meshing/un-meshing process of chain links on the sprockets. However, a preliminary study shows that losses caused by the motion of rollers along their associated tooth profile have a significant influence. The aim of this paper is therefore to explore this phenomenon. An original 2D quasi static model of a two-sprocket drive is presented. The global drive kinematics (including transmission error) is determined using specific sub-models for the tight and slack strands. A local sprocket sub-model is then introduced to calculate link tension, roller/sprocket contact force and roller location. This model can be used for different tooth profile geometries. Based on the results provided by the global and local model, the presented model calculates drive efficiency, considering the losses caused by meshing and roller motion. A comparison with literature is done to ensure the model validity.

顶级场地自行车运动员之间的激烈竞争需要进行研究,以实现优化。为此,我们对滚子链传动装置的能效进行了研究,以加深对损耗源的了解,并提出改进建议。链传动中的损耗主要由链条在链轮上的啮合/非啮合过程造成。然而,初步研究表明,滚子沿相关齿形运动造成的损耗也有很大影响。因此,本文旨在探讨这一现象。本文介绍了双链轮传动的原始二维准静态模型。全局传动运动学(包括传动误差)是通过紧链和松链的特定子模型确定的。然后引入局部链轮子模型来计算链节张力、滚子/链轮接触力和滚子位置。该模型可用于不同的齿形几何形状。根据全局和局部模型提供的结果,考虑到啮合和滚子运动造成的损失,所提出的模型计算了传动效率。为了确保模型的有效性,还与文献进行了比较。

Flexure-jointed grippers provide compliant grasping capability, have low-cost and flexible manufacturing, and are insusceptible to joint friction and wear. However, their grasp stiffness can be limited by flexure compliance such that loss-of-grasp is prone to occur for high object loads. This paper examines the application of inverted-flexure joints in a cable-driven gripper that can avoid flexure buckling and greatly enhance grasp stiffness and stability. To analyze behavior, an energy-based kinetostatic model is developed for a benchmark grasping problem and validated by hardware experiments. A multi-objective design optimization study is conducted, considering key metrics of peak flexure stress, grasp stiffness, and cable actuation force. Results show that the inverted-flexure design has significantly higher grasp stiffness (63% higher in a targeted design optimization) and requires lower actuation forces (¿20% lower in all optimization cases), compared with equivalent direct-flexure designs. An application study is conducted to validate the predicted operating performance under gravity loading of the grasped object. The results demonstrate that stable and high stiffness grasping can be achieved, even under overload conditions that lead to loss-of-grasp for conventional direct-flexure designs.

挠性接头机械手具有顺应性抓取能力,成本低,制造灵活,不易受接头摩擦和磨损的影响。然而,它们的抓取刚度可能会受到挠性顺应性的限制,因此在物体负载较高时容易出现抓取失灵的情况。本文研究了倒挠性接头在电缆驱动机械手中的应用,它可以避免挠曲屈曲,并大大提高抓取刚度和稳定性。为分析其行为,针对基准抓取问题开发了基于能量的运动静力学模型,并通过硬件实验进行了验证。考虑到弯曲应力峰值、抓取刚度和电缆驱动力等关键指标,进行了多目标优化设计研究。结果表明,与同等的直接挠性设计相比,倒置挠性设计的抓取刚度明显更高(在目标设计优化中提高了 63%),所需的驱动力也更低(在所有优化情况下降低了 20%)。我们进行了一项应用研究,以验证所预测的在抓取物体重力负荷下的工作性能。结果表明,即使在超载条件下,也能实现稳定的高刚度抓取,而传统的直接挠性设计会导致抓取失效。

Series elastic actuators with increasing nonlinear stiffness(NlSEA) have promising applications in human-machine interactions for the existence of a nonlinear elastic mechanism that supplies inherent safety and can implement high torque resolution under low load and quick dynamic response under high load. In this study, a novel design method for a nonlinear elastic mechanism that can be applied in NlSEA is proposed. By combining the S-shaped cantilever beam and specialized cam surface, this study proposed an analytical approach to design a nonlinear elastic mechanism satisfying a given stiffening torque-deformation relationship. The geometric parameters constraints were discussed to support parameter determination. Two kinds of cases of nonlinear elastic mechanisms with increasing and constant stiffness characteristics were conducted to verify the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed design method by simulations. Moreover, a nonlinear elastic mechanism with an increasing stiffness characteristic was designed and a prototype was fabricated. A torque-deformation verification experiment, regulation response experiments, and sinusoidal tracking experiments were conducted to verify the accuracy, response performance, and tracking performance of the prototype. The designed nonlinear elastic mechanism has a large torque-to-mass ratio in a compact and lightweight structure.

Soft robots are high-dimensional nonlinear systems coupled with both geometric and material nonlinearity. Control of such a system is complex and time-consuming. In this study, a real-time trajectory tracking control framework is established based on the reduced order extended position-based dynamics. In contrast to the common nonlinear model order reduction methods that require to collect a large number of data to create the motion subspace, this article's motion subspace is constructed based on the model configuration and material properties. The linear modes of the model and the related modal derivatives provide the reduced order matrix, which streamlines and increases the efficiency of model construction. Then, coupled with the instantaneous optimal control, a real-time reduced order model-based control framework of soft robots can be constructed. Experiments on trajectory tracking of a soft manipulator are conducted to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed controller. The average error of all experiments is within 1 cm; and the single-step calculation time of the controller is about 0.057 s, which is less than the sampling period 0.1 s.

软机器人是一种高维非线性系统,同时具有几何和材料非线性。对这样的系统进行控制既复杂又耗时。在本研究中,我们建立了一个基于减阶扩展位置动力学的实时轨迹跟踪控制框架。与需要收集大量数据来创建运动子空间的普通非线性模型降阶方法不同,本文的运动子空间是基于模型配置和材料属性构建的。模型的线性模态和相关模态导数提供了降阶矩阵,简化并提高了模型构建的效率。然后,结合瞬时最优控制,就能构建基于模型的软机器人实时减阶控制框架。通过对软机械手轨迹跟踪的实验,验证了所提控制器的准确性和效率。所有实验的平均误差都在 1 cm 以内;控制器的单步计算时间约为 0.057 s,小于采样周期 0.1 s。

Road irregularities affect vehicle comfort by causing vertical and longitudinal acceleration oscillations. While the current ride comfort enhancement solutions are based on the compensation of the vertical acceleration of the sprung mass, the compensation of the longitudinal dynamics excited by road irregularities has been successfully explored only for in-wheel powertrains. The scope of this study is to demonstrate that also on-board electric powertrains with torsional dynamics of the half-shafts have the potential for effective compensation, thanks to the road profile preview. This paper presents a proof-of-concept nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) with road preview, which is assessed with a validated simulation model of an all-wheel drive electric vehicle. Three powertrain layouts are considered, with four in-wheel, four on-board, and two on-board electric machines. The control function is evaluated along multiple manoeuvres, through comfort-related key performance indicators (KPIs) that, for the four on-board layout along a road step test at 40 km/h, highlight >80% improvements. Finally, the real-time implementability of the algorithms is demonstrated, and preliminary experiments are conducted on an electric quadricycle prototype, with more than halved oscillations of the relevant variables.

路面不规则会引起垂直和纵向加速度振荡,从而影响车辆的舒适性。目前的驾乘舒适性提升方案都是基于对弹簧质量垂直加速度的补偿,而对路面不平顺引起的纵向动力的补偿只在轮内动力系统中进行了成功的探索。本研究的目的是证明,借助路面轮廓预览,具有半轴扭转动力学的车载电动动力系统也具有有效补偿的潜力。本文介绍了一种具有道路预览功能的概念验证非线性模型预测控制器(NMPC),并通过全轮驱动电动汽车的验证仿真模型对其进行了评估。考虑了三种动力总成布局,包括四个轮内、四个车载和两个车载电机。通过与舒适性相关的关键性能指标(KPIs),对控制功能进行了多重操纵评估,其中四车载布局在时速 40 公里的道路阶梯测试中突出表现出 80% 的改进。最后,演示了算法的实时可实施性,并在电动四轮车原型上进行了初步实验,相关变量的振荡减少了一半以上。

In this paper, the impact of parameter variations on the deployable motion characteristics, mobility, input singularity, and deploying/folding performance of plane-symmetric Bricard mechanisms is studied. Firstly, two classes of revolute pair axes used to construct deployable polygon mechanisms (DGMs) are reviewed, and their value ranges are further refined. Secondly, all possible axes arrangement schemes for plane-symmetric 6R DGMs are presented for the first time. Then, an improved schematic synthesis method is proposed, which can be used to design all plane-symmetric 6R DGMs that belong to the plane-symmetric Bricard mechanisms. Thirdly, the improved design method is applied to create a series of single-degree-of-freedom plane-symmetric 6R DGMs. Then, feasible domain searches are performed, and some of them are prototyped. Subsequently, the input singularity of plane-symmetric 6R DGMs is analyzed. Finally, two deploying/folding performance indices are proposed to evaluate the performance of plane-symmetric 6R DGMs with different fully deployed and fully folded states based on actual application scenarios. This work expands the variety and quantity of DGMs, which will also advance the development of robotics, mechanical metamaterials, and kirigami mechanisms.

Compliant deployable mechanisms (CDMs), as a novel and promising type of mechanisms, have been gradually used in medical industry, aerospace and other engineering fields that require high space utilization and compactness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a general and efficient methodology to design and analyze CDMs. This paper proposes a general framework for designing and analyzing CDMs. The proposed framework has been verified by finite element method (FEM) first. Then, for practical validation, we design two types of compliant deployable mechanisms for different application scenarios within this framework, and experimental testing has been conducted to prove the feasibility of the proposed framework. Compared to the existing methods for designing CDMs, this framework demonstrates a more general scheme where different engineering scenarios can be taken into account to meet the design requirements, presenting several desired advantages over the existing methods, such as higher accuracy and less computational expense.

顺应式可展开机构(CDMs)作为一种新颖且前景广阔的机构类型,已逐渐应用于医疗行业、航空航天和其他对空间利用率和紧凑性要求较高的工程领域。因此,有必要开发一种通用、高效的方法来设计和分析 CDM。本文提出了设计和分析 CDM 的一般框架。首先通过有限元法(FEM)验证了所提出的框架。然后,为了进行实际验证,我们在此框架内针对不同的应用场景设计了两种类型的兼容可部署机构,并进行了实验测试,以证明所提框架的可行性。与现有的 CDM 设计方法相比,该框架展示了一种更通用的方案,可以考虑不同的工程场景以满足设计要求,与现有方法相比具有更高的精度和更少的计算费用等优势。

The objective of this paper is to propose a novel approximate solution for determining the reactions of joints in mechanical systems, which involves the influence of Coulomb friction. It is widely acknowledged that if Coulomb friction is used in determining an exact solution to the equilibrium equations for a mechanism, then it will involve nonlinear systems of equations. With the abundance of computer tools now available, tasks of this kind, especially numerical computations, are not particularly challenging. However, new analytically tractable approximate methods are still valuable as a straightforward way of solving the problem. Several studies have been carried out in this field to find a simple solution. In this paper, a new approach based on friction circle concept and Babylonian algorithm is developed for various mechanisms, which is exceptionally well-suited for calculating and streamlining the solution process for mechanical systems by eliminating the necessity for iterative steps at each stage of the force analysis.

本文旨在提出一种新的近似解法,用于确定机械系统中涉及库仑摩擦影响的关节反作用力。人们普遍认为,如果库仑摩擦用于确定机械平衡方程的精确解,那么就会涉及非线性方程组。随着计算机工具的普及,这类任务,尤其是数值计算,已不再具有特别的挑战性。然而,新的可分析近似方法作为解决问题的直接方法仍然很有价值。为了找到简单的解决方案,该领域已经开展了多项研究。本文基于摩擦圆概念和巴比伦算法,为各种机构开发了一种新方法,该方法非常适合机械系统的计算和简化求解过程,省去了每个受力分析阶段的迭代步骤。

Small jumping robots widely adopt complex catapult mechanisms. This paper presents a novel jumping strategy using dead point instead of traditional catapult mechanisms, achieving efficient energy storage and release without increasing mechanical complexity. Single degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar six-bar linkages are widely used in bionic mechanism design due to their simple control and strong design flexibility. However, their complex configuration and numerous parameters make it challenging to carry out multi-objective and multi-constraint designs. In this paper, a design method of single DOF six-bar linkages based on dead-point constraints is proposed to design a frog-inspired leg mechanism. By enumerating the basic configuration atlas and using a stepwise closed-loop method, initial value screening is completed to improve the efficiency of objective function optimization. The dead-point constraints are simplified with graphical geometric properties. The resulting mechanism satisfies multiple objectives and constraints, including shape, motion posture and trajectory, demonstrating the feasibility of the method. Simulations and experiments confirmed the excellent jumping performance of the 147.1-g prototype, with a jump height of 8.55 times leg length and an energy-storing capacity of 35.39 J/kg.

小型跳跃机器人普遍采用复杂的弹射机构。本文提出了一种新颖的跳跃策略,用死点代替传统的弹射机构,在不增加机械复杂性的情况下实现高效的能量存储和释放。单自由度(DOF)平面六杆连杆因其控制简单、设计灵活而被广泛应用于仿生机构设计中。然而,其复杂的构造和众多的参数使得进行多目标和多约束设计具有挑战性。本文提出了一种基于死点约束的单 DOF 六杆连杆机构设计方法,用于设计一种青蛙启发腿机构。通过枚举基本配置图集和使用逐步闭环法完成初始值筛选,从而提高目标函数优化的效率。利用图形几何特性简化了死点约束。最后得到的机构满足多个目标和约束条件,包括形状、运动姿态和轨迹,证明了该方法的可行性。模拟和实验证实,147.1g 的原型具有出色的跳跃性能,跳跃高度是腿长的 8.55 倍,蓄能能力为 35.39 J/kg。
