Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Stiffness Modeling of a 2-Dof Over-Constrained Planar Parallel Mechanism(Elsevier, 2023) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, GökhanStiffness model acquisition of over-constrained parallel mechanisms is relatively difficult since they have more than necessary kinematic loops. In this study, a stiffness modeling solution for over-constrained parallel mechanisms is proposed while considering the computational cost efficiency. Three contributions of the paper are: (1) Presenting the stiffness modeling procedure for serially connected closed-loop structures by using the Virtual Joint Method (2) Considering the effect of dynamic auxiliary forces and dynamic external forces on the mobile platform's deflection and achieving a direct solution by using superposition principle (3) A model fitting procedure for modifying the stiffness coefficients to comply with the experimental data. A 2 degrees-of-freedom over-constrained parallel mechanism is investigated as a case study. However, the proposed stiffness model is 6-DoF since compliant deflections occur in any direction. A finite element analysis and an experimental study verify the model's results.Conference Object Haptik Cihaz için İyileştirilmiş Performansa Sahip Robot Tasarımı(Özyeğin Üniversitesi, 2019) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Karabulut, Mehmet Görkem; Sekendiz, Veysel; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanBu bildiri daha önce tasarlanmış bir kinestetik haptik cihazın tasarımının iyileştirilmesi için yapılan çalışmayı içermektedir.

The proposed index is compared with the conventionally used stiffness isotropy index by making use of the investigation on R-CUBE manipulator. The proposed index is shown to produce relatively more precise results from which a higher number of isotropic poses are detected.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 30Time Efficient Stiffness Model Computation for a Parallel Haptic Mechanism Via the Virtual Joint Method(Elsevier, 2020) Carbone, Giuseppe; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanHaptic devices are used for displaying a range of mechanical impedance values to the user. This impedance is regulated by a real-time control loop depending on the position information of the end-effector, which is usually acquired indirectly by using forward kinematics equations. Nevertheless, the kinematic model is insufficient to obtain accurate values if there are non-negligible compliant displacements. This gives a strong motivation for implementing a real-time stiffness model in the haptic control loop for improving its accuracy. Additionally, stiffness performance indices can be used at the design stage for enhancing the haptic devices impedance range within optimal design procedures. Fast solutions of a stiffness model are required for a real-time control as well as for decreasing the optimization time during a design process with a trade-off between accuracy and computational costs. In this study, we propose a computation time-efficient stiffness analysis of a parallel haptic device mechanism. The accuracy and computational costs of the proposed model are calculated and compared with a model that is obtained via a finite element method to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with the desired real-time and accuracy performance.

This feedback is composed of force which is regulated with respect to motion information. Accurate generation of the feedback requires exact position acquisition of the end-effector. Due to the compliant bodies of a manipulator, a stiffness model is needed to predict this position. Previously, Virtual Joint Method was adopted to obtain the stiffness model of an R-CUBE parallel haptic mechanism. In this paper, experimental test setup and experimental procedure are described for validating this stiffness model, its engineering feasibility and soundness of the proposed model.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Structural Compliance Effects on the Accuracy and Safety of a R-Cube Haptic Device(Springer Verlag, 2019) Carbone, Giuseppe; Acinapura, Antonio; Mundo, Domenico; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanThis paper addresses the contribution of structural compliance on stiffness and safety of a R-CUBE Haptic Device. Structural compliance is determined in several poses via FEM analysis and addressed by referring to local and global indices of performance. Results are also compared with evidences from experimental tests. Comparison of numerical and experimental data allows to identify and separate the contributions to the overall compliance that are due to the structural stiffness, and other contributions such as joint clearance, pose and loading conditions.Conference Object Manipulator Design for a Haptic System With Improved Performance(Springer, 2021) Sekendiz, Veysel; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Karabulut, Mehmet Görkem; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanThis paper presents the work carried out to improve the design of an existing kinesthetic haptic device. The proposed improvement is designated for enhancing this device’s impedance width which is a common metric in performance evaluation of haptic devices. In this study, kinematic design optimization, static balancing, constructional design enhancement and actuation system design studies are presented.Book Part Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Experimental Evaluation of Actuation and Sensing Capabilities of a Haptic Device(Springer, 2019) Mobedi, Emir; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanHaptic devices are used to increase the telepresence level by providing the sense of touch to the human operator. Simultaneously, they capture the targeted motion of the human operator to generate a motion demand for the teleoperated slave system. Considering a scenario where the slave system’s end-effector is handled by the human operator at the master side, which is attached to the haptic device, an ideal haptic interaction involves the feeling of only the end-effector dynamics and the accurate sensation of the end-effector pose. The performance of a haptic device is based on these two functionalities. In this paper, the experimental evaluation of the actuation and sensing capabilities of a haptic device, HIPHAD v1.0 kinesthetic haptic device, is presented.Conference Object Experimental Verification of Quasi-Static Equilibrium Analysis of a Haptic Device(Azerbaijan Committee of International Federation, 2017) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Maaroof, Omar Waleed Najm; Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Ceccarelli, MarcoHIPHAD v1.0 is a kinesthetic haptic device which was designed and manufactured in IzTech Robotics Laboratory.

In this paper, a critical review is carried out for the well-known metrics for kinematics, stiffness and dynamic aspects of robots that can be applied in evaluating the unpowered system performance of kinesthetic haptic devices. The physical meanings of these metrics are discussed and the important factors that affect the unpowered system performance of a kinesthetic haptic device are revealed.
