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.

Experimental Compliance Matrix Derivation for Enhancing Trajectory Tracking of a 2-Dof High-Accelerated Over-Constrained Mechanism
(Springer, 2022) Paksoy, Erkan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan
If the positioning accuracy of the end-effector of a robot has high priority, compliance characteristics of the elements of its mechanism should be considered. Due to the external loading on the robot, the dimensions of the elements change and this leads to positioning errors for the end-effector. In this paper, an experimental test setup and an experimental procedure are described to derive the compliance characteristics of a planar 2-degree-of-freedom mechanism.
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.
Conceptual Design of a 2-Dof Planar High-Speed Industrial Parallel Manipulator
(Springer, 2019) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Özkahya, Merve; Paksoy, Erkan; Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan
This study focuses on conceptual design alternatives for a planar high-speed/high-precision manipulator in terms of mechanism structure, control strate-gy, and drive system selection. These concepts are investigated specifically for planar 5-bar based parallel linkages. An over-constrained 6-bar linkage with par-allelogram loops and its simply constrained version are selected for detailed de-sign. In addition, a model-based control strategy including a stiffness model is discussed for future studies. Alternative drive systems are evaluated. Finally a prototype is presented.
