본 연구의 목적은 6자유도를 가진 병렬형 메니퓰레이터의 기구학적 해석을 하는데 있다. 일반적인 산업용 로봇의 구조는 링크가 직렬로 연결된 형상을 하고 있으며 이러한 형태는 넓은 작업공간의 확보와 유연성이 뛰어난 장점이 있는 반면에 각 링크의 오차가 메니퓰레이터의 끝단에서 누적되어 나타나게 되고 구동렬이 증가하게 되는 단점을 지니고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 정밀한 위치제어가 필요한 경우에는 병렬형 형태의 링크를 지닌 구조를 사용하고 있다. 병렬형 메니퓰레이터의 역기구학적 해석은 비교적 단순한 데 반하여 정기구학적 해 석은 비선형 방정식의 형태로 나타나며 해석적으로 그 해를 구하기가 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 6자유도를 지닌 병렬형 메니퓰레이터의 기구학적 해석을 수행하였으며 예제를 통하여 검정하였다.

In this paper, the operating stiffness of a parallel robot used to handle heavy packages is optimized. Because the studied model, called a "pick and place robot," is applied for packaging logistics, it is important for the robot to be lightweight so that it may respond rapidly and have high stiffness to allow sufficient operating precision. However, these two requirements of low weight and high stiffness are mutually exclusive. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of the robot are analyzed through multibody dynamics analysis, and topology optimization is conducted to achieve this exclusive performance. Lastly, the reliability of the topology optimization is verified by applying the optimized design to the parallel robot.

Parallel robots used in industry require high stiffness or high speed because of their structural characteristics. Nowadays, the importance of rapid transportation has increased in the distribution industry. In this light, an industrial parallel robot has been developed for high-speed transfer. The developed parallel robot can handle a maximum payload of 3 kg. For a payload of 0.1 kg, the trajectory cycle time is 0.3 s (come and go), and the maximum velocity is 4.5 m/s (pick amp, place work, adept cycle). In this motion, its maximum acceleration is very high and reaches approximately 13g. In this paper, the design, analysis, and performance test results of the developed parallel robot system are introduced.

Kinematic calibration is a process whereby the actual values of geometric parameters are estimated so as to minimize the error in absolute positioning. Measuring all components of Cartesian posture, particularly the orientation, can be difficult. With partial pose measurements, all parameters may not be identifiable. This paper proposes a new device that can be used to identify all kinematic parameters with partial pose measurements. Study is performed for a six degree-of-freedom fully parallel Hexa Slide manipulator. The device, however, is general and can be used for other parallel manipulators. The proposed device consists of a link with U joints on both sides and is equipped with a rotary sensor and a biaxial inclinometer. When attached between the base and the mobile platform, the device restricts the end-effector's motion to five degree-of-freedom and can measure position of the end-effector and one of its rotations. Numerical analyses of the identification Jacobian reveal that all parameters are identifiable. Computer simulations show that the identification is robust for the errors in the initial guess and the measurement noise.
