This survey paper presents a review of control methods for redundant robot manipulators. Use of redundant degree of freedoms by local and global optimization techniques are described in terms of the Jacobian matrix equation for the redundant robot manipulators. Relevant problems for further use of redundant robot manipulators are then discussed.

This paper presents the kinematic and dynamic analysis of parallel manipulators with redundant limbs, obtained by putting additional limbs to an existing parallel manipulator. We develop the kinematic and dynamic models of a parallel, manipulator with redundant limbs. The redundancy in parallelism due to the increased number of limbs and the redundancy in actuation due to the increased number of active joints are considered in the modeling. Based on the derived models, we define the kinematic and dynamic manipulabilities of a parallel manipulator with redundant limbs. The effect of the redundant limbs on the performance of parallel manipulators is analyzed in terms of kinematic and dynamic manipulabilities.

This paper presents the kinematic and dynamic analysis of parallel manipulators with redundant joints, obtained by putting additional active joints to an existing parallel manipulator. We develop the kinematic and dynamic models of a parallel manipulator with redundant joints. The redundancy in serial chain, due to the increased number of joints per limb, is considered in the modeling. Based oh the derived models, we define the kinematic and dynamic manipulabilities of a parallel manipulator with redundant joints. The effect of the redundant joints on the performance of parallel manipulators is analyzed in terms of kinematic and dynamic manipulabilities.

The redundant manipulator extends the application fields of classical nonredundant manipulators. In this paper, we propose Premultiplier Model that describes the static behavior of redundant manipulator. This model provides insight and intuition about algebra and physics related to redundant manipulators. Active operational space stiffness control of redundant manipulators is proved to be always unstable and we propose a technique, based on our methodology, to make stiffness control stable.

Kinematically redundantant manipulators have a nimber of potential advantages over nonredundant ones. Questions associated with manipulability measures for (non)redundant manipulators derived by minimum 2-norm solution and minimum infinity-norm solution in unit joint velocity are examined in detail.

A number of performance measures have been proposed for the quantification of dexterity for kinematically redundant manipulators. The use of such measures is especially important for kinematically redundant manipulators since they can satisfy the subtasks such as singularity avoidance and obstacle avoidance in addition to satisfying a specification of end-effector motion. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of performance measures proposed up to date are compared through simulations under the same environment. Besides, a new dexterity index for manipulators with multiple degrees of redundancy is proposed and shown to be effective through the simulation.

In this paper, we discuss the vibration suppression control of spatial redundant flexible manipulators through pseudo-inversed of Jacobian. In order to verify our method, the experiments are performed for PTP(Point To Point) motion of spa-tial flexible manipulators(1) with no redundancy(2) with one redundant DOF(degree of freedom). Finally, a comparison between these results is presented to show the performance of out approach.

One of the main reason advocating redundant manipulators' superiority in application is that they can afford to optimize a dexterity measure, for example the manipulability measure. However, to obtain the gradient of the manipulability is not an easy task in case of general manipulator with high degrees of redundancy. This article proposes a method to compute the gradient of the manipulability, based on recursive algorithm to compute the Jacobian and its derivative using Denavit-Hartenberg parameters only. To characterize the null motion of redundant manipulators, the null space matrix using square minors of the Jacobian is also proposed. With these capabilities, the inverse kinematics of a redundant manipulator system can be done automatically. The result is easily extended to dual manipulator system using the relative kinematics.

Optimal design of fault-tolerant, spatial type redundant manipulators is treated in this paper. Design objective is to guarantte three degree-of -freedom translational motions in the task space, upon failure of one arbitrary joint of 4 degree-of-freedom manipulators. Noticing the nonfault-tolerant characteristics of current, wrist-type industrial manipulators, five different fault-tolerant spatial-type manipulators which have 4 degree-of-freedom structures with one joint redundancy are suggested. Faault-tolerant character-sitics of two redundant manipulators anr investigated based on the analysis of the self-motion and the null-space elements. Finally, in order to maximize the fault-tolerant capability, optimal design is performed for a spatial-type manipulator with respect to the global isotropic index, and the performance enhancement of the optimized case is shown by simulation.

A novel inverse kinematics solution based on the back propagation neural network (NN) for redundant manipulators is developed for online obstacles avoidance. A laser transducer at the end-effctor is used for online planning the trajectory. Since the inverse kinematics in the present problem has infinite number of joint angle vectors, a fuzzy reasoning system is designed to generate an approximate value for that vector. This vector is fed into the NN as a hint input vector rather than as a training vector to guide the output of the NN. Simulations are implemented on both three- and four-link redundant planar manipulators to show the effectiveness of the proposed position control system.
