This paper presents a stiffness modeling of a low-DOF parallel robot, which takes into account of elastic deformations of joints and links, A low-DOF parallel robot is defined as a spatial parallel robot which has less than six degrees of freedom. Differently from serial chains in a full 6-DOF parallel robot, some of those in a low-DOF parallel robot may be subject to constraint forces as well as actuation forces. The reaction forces due to actuations and constraints in each serial chain can be determined by making use of the theory of reciprocal screws. It is shown that the stiffness of an F-DOF parallel robot can be modeled such that the moving platform is supported by 6 springs related to the reciprocal screws of actuations (F) and constraints (6-F). A general $6{\times}6$ stiffness matrix is derived, which is the sum of the stiffness matrices of actuations and constraints, The compliance of each spring can be precisely determined by modeling the compliance of joints and links in a serial chain as follows; a link is modeled as an Euler beam and the compliance matrix of rotational or prismatic joint is modeled as a $6{\times}6$ diagonal matrix, where one diagonal element about the rotation axis or along the sliding direction is infinite. By summing joint and link compliance matrices with respect to a reference frame and applying unit reciprocal screw to the resulting compliance matrix of a serial chain, the compliance of a spring is determined by the resulting infinitesimal displacement. In order to illustrate this methodology, the stiffness of a Tricept parallel robot has been analyzed. Finally, a numerical example of the optimal design to maximize stiffness in a specified box-shape workspace is presented.

In this paper, the kinestatic control algorithm using a six-axis compliant device is presented. Unlike the traditional control methods using a force/torque sensor with very limited compliance, this method employs a compliant device to provide sufficient compliance between an industrial robot and a rigid environment. This kinestatic control method is used to simply control the position of an industrial robot with twists of compensation, which can be decomposed into twists of compliance and twists of freedom. A simple design method of a six-axis parallel-type compliant device with a diagonal stiffness matrix is presented. A compliant device prototype and kinestatic control hardware system and programming were developed. The effectiveness of the kinestatic control algorithm was verified through two kinds of kinestatic control experiments.

This paper presents a stiffness analysis method for a low-DOF parallel manipulator, which takes into account of elastic deformations of joints and links. A low-DOF parallel manipulator is defined as a spatial parallel manipulator which has less than six degrees of freedom. Differently from the case of a 6-DOF parallel manipulator, the serial chains in a low-DOF parallel manipulator are subject to constraint forces as well as actuation forces. The reaction forces due to actuations and constraints in each limb can be determined by making use of the theory of reciprocal screws. It is shown that the stiffness model of an F-DOF parallel manipulator consists of F springs related to the reciprocal screws of actuations and 6-F springs related to the reciprocal screws of constraints, which connect the moving platform to the fixed base in parallel. The $6{times}6$ stiffness matrix is derived, which is the sum of the stiffness matrices of actuations and constraints. The six spring constants can be precisely determined by modeling the compliance of joints and links in a serial chain as follows; the link can be considered as an Euler beam and the stiffness matrix of rotational or prismatic joint can be modeled as a $6{times}6$ diagonal matrix, where one diagonal element about the rotation axis or along the sliding direction is zero. By summing the elastic deformations in joints and links, the compliance matrix of a serial chain is obtained. Finally, applying the reciprocal screws to the compliance matrix of a serial chain, the compliance values of springs can be determined. As an example of explaining the procedure, the stiffness of the Tricept parallel manipulator has been analyzed.

대형구조계의 진동해석에 효율적인 방법으로 알려진 부분구조 진동형 합성방법을 방법론적 관점에서 분류하면 부분구조계간의 연결부 경계조건을 어떻게 가정하는가에 따라 구속모드방법, 불구속 모드방법 및 혼합방법으로 대별할 수 있다. 이 방법들 중에서 불구속 모드방법이 보다 효율적이고 또 특정 부분구조의 실험결과 이용이 용이한 장점이 있으나 정확도가 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 대형 구조계의 진동해석에 효율적이면서 정확도 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있는 불구속 모드방법을 정식화하였다. 불구속 모드방법의 정확도 향상 방안으로서 모드합성시 배제된 고차진동형의 영향을 잉여강성과 더불어 잉여관성 효과도 고려하여 보상하였고, 또 주파수이동기법을 도입하므로써 주관심 주파수 부근에서 더욱 정확도가 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 함과 동시에 부분구조계가 semi-definite system일 경우 특이매트릭스를 처리해야 하는 문제점도 해결하였다. 상기방법의 정확도 및 계산효율성은 선체 2차원 단순화 모델을 포함한 일련의 유한요소모델에 대해 검증되었다. 상기방법에 의한 계산결과는 정확도에 있어서 진동형 합성에 이용된 부분구조계의 최고차 진동수 이하에서는 전체계를 직접 유한요소해석한 경우와 대등하고, 구속모드방법보다 효율적이면서 정확도가 더 높은 결과를 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었다.
