    Enhancing trajectory-tracking accuracy of high-acceleration parallel robots by predicting compliant displacements
    (Cambridge University Press, 2025) Paksoy, Erkan; Dede, Mehmet Ismet Can; Kiper, Gokhan
    For precision-required robot operations, the robot's positioning accuracy, repeatability, and stiffness characteristics should be considered. If the mechanism has the desired repeatability performance, a kinematic calibration process can enhance the positioning accuracy. However, for robot operations where high accelerations are needed, the compliance characteristics of the mechanism affect the trajectory-tracking accuracy adversely. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to enhance the trajectory-tracking accuracy of a robot operating at high accelerations by predicting the compliant displacements when there is no physical contact of the robot with its environment. Also, this case study compares the trajectory-tracking characteristics of an over-constrained and a normal-constrained 2degrees-of-freedom (DoF) planar parallel mechanism during high-acceleration operations up to 5 g accelerations. In addition, the influence of the end-effector's center of mass (CoM) position along the normal of the plane is investigated in terms of its effects on the proposed trajectory-enhancing algorithm.

    An Experimental Setup and Procedure for Stiffness Evaluation of Robot Manipulators
    (Springer, 2021) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Paksoy, Erkan; Carbone, Giuseppe; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    In this paper, an experimental test setup for stiffness evaluation of a spatial parallel mechanism is introduced. The parallel mechanism used in this study is R-CUBE mechanism. In the test setup, a highly rigid gantry-type manipulator’s end-effector is coupled with the R-CUBE’s mobile platform. As the gantry manipulator is actuated the resultant reaction forces/moments are measured via a force\torque sensor. Subsequently, compliant displacements of R-CUBE are measured by using a coordinate measuring machine. The obtained results are presented and discussed in this paper. © 2021, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
