Conference Object Redundancy resolution options for the twin-it-romans robotic hybrid manufacturing system(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Gündüz, G.M.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Kiper, Gökhan; Schmitz, M.; Corves, B.; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe Twinnig Iztech in Robotics Manufacturing System (TWIN-IT-ROMANS) project funded by EU Horizon -Widera-2023-Access-02-01 aims to develop a hybrid manufacturing system that can perform additive and subtractive manufacturing processes and inline quality control using a robotic system. The system will incorporate a 6-degree-of-freedom robot arm and a positioner with 2-degree-of-freedom, which will operate synchronously. This manipulation system is to be designed for performing different manufacturing operations with different degrees-of-freedom requirements. In order to reveal alternative trajectory planning scenarios for this system, this paper presents an initial review of redundancy resolution approaches for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators. First, the four main approaches for redundancy resolution techniques are introduced. Then main studies on energy minimization and stiffness maximization for kinematically redundant robotic manipulators are reviewed. Similar or new approaches are planned to be generated and implemented for the redundant system for hybrid manufacturing. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Experimental Compliance Matrix Derivation for Enhancing Trajectory Tracking of a 2-Dof High-Accelerated Over-Constrained Mechanism(Springer, 2022) Paksoy, Erkan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Paksoy, Erkan; Kiper, Gökhan; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringIf 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.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Gravity Compensation of a 2r1t Mechanism With Remote Center of Motion for Minimally Invasive Transnasal Surgery Applications [article](Cambridge University Press, 2023) Aldanmaz, Ataol Behram; Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Ayit, Orhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis work addresses the gravity balancing of a 2R1T (2 rotations – 1 translation) mechanism with remote center of motion. A previously developed balancing solution is modified and applied to a prototype and test results are presented. The mechanism is an endoscope holder for minimally invasive transnasal pituitary gland surgery. In this surgery, the endoscope is inserted through a nostril of the patient through a natural path to the pituitary gland. During the surgery, it is vital for the manipulator to be statically balanced so that in case of a motor failure, the patient is protected against any harmful motion of the endoscope. Additionally, static balancing takes the gravitational load from the actuators and hence facilitates the control of the mechanism. The mechanism is a 2URRR-URR type parallel manipulator with three legs. The payload mass is distributed to the legs on the sides. By using counter-masses for two links of each leg, the center of mass of each leg is lumped on the proximal link which simplifies the problem to balancing of a two degree-of-freedom inverted pendulum. The two proximal links with the lumped mass are statically balanced via springs. Dynamic simulations indicate that when the mechanism is statically balanced, generated actuator torques are reduced by 93.5%. Finally, the balancing solution is implemented on the prototype of the manipulator. The tests indicate that the manipulator is statically balanced within its task space when the actuators are disconnected. When the actuators are connected, the torque requirements decrease by about 37.8% with balancing.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 37Kinematic Design of a Non-Parasitic 2r1t Parallel Mechanism With Remote Center of Motion To Be Used in Minimally Invasive Surgery Applications(Elsevier Ltd., 2020) Yaşır, Abdullah; Kiper, Gökhan; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn minimally invasive surgery applications, the use of robotic manipulators is becoming more and more common to enhance the precision of the operations and post-operative processes. Such operations are often performed through an incision port (a pivot point) on the patient's body. Since the end-effector (the handled surgical tool) move about the pivot point, the manipulator has to move about a remote center of motion. In this study, a 3-degrees-of-freedom parallel mechanism with 2R1T (R: rotation, T: translation) remote center of motion capability is presented for minimally invasive surgery applications. First, its kinematic structure is introduced. Then, its kinematic analysis is carried out by using a simplified kinematic model which consists of three intersecting planes. Then the dimensional design is done for the desired workspace and a simulation test is carried out to verify the kinematic formulations. Finally, the prototype of the final design is presented.Conference Object Conceptual Design of a 2-Dof Planar High-Speed Industrial Parallel Manipulator(Springer, 2019) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Paksoy, Erkan; Özkahya, Merve; Uzunoğlu, Emre; Paksoy, Erkan; Kiper, Gökhan; Taner, Barış; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringThis 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.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Static Force Balancing of a 2r1t Parallel Manipulator With Remote Center of Motion(Springer Verlag, 2019) Yaşır, Abdullah; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyAssistive robots in surgical applications should be gravity balanced due to safety considerations. This study presents a gravity balancing solution for a 3-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator to be used as an endoscope navigation robot for transnasal minimal invasive surgery applications. The manipulator has a rather simple structure that allows individual balancing of the three legs in their respec-tive planes of motion. First, sole counter-mass balancing is investigated, but it is seen that the extra mass amount is too much. Sole spring balancing is not consid-ered as an option due to constructional complexity. A hybrid solution as a combi-nation of counter-mass and spring balancing is devised. In the proposed solution, the masses on the distal links of a leg are balanced with counter-masses so that all masses are lumped to the link connected to the base of the manipulator. Hence the problem is simplified into the balancing of a pendulum. The necessary formula-tions are derived and numerical calculations demonstrate that the hybrid balancing yields a feasible solution.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2A Critical Review of Unpowered Performance Metrics of Impedance-Type Haptic Devices(Springer Verlag, 2019) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Kiper, Gökhan; Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA kinesthetic haptic device’s performance relies on unpowered, powered and controlled system characteristics. 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.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 16Trajectory Planning for a Planar Macro-Micro Manipulator of a Laser-Cutting Machine(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2016) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Uzunoğlu, Emre; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyPurpose-In the industry, there is always a demand to shorten the task completion durations to maximize the efficiency of the operation. This work focuses on making use of a special type of kinematic redundancy, macro-micro manipulation, to minimize the task completion duration. The purpose of this paper is to develop the most convenient trajectory planner to be integrated with industrial computerized numerical control (CNC) systems to resolve kinematic redundancy for task duration minimization. Design/methodology/approach-A special type of kinematic redundancy is devised by using two kinematically different mechanisms that have different advantages, which are named as macro and micro mechanisms. In this case, the control design including the trajectory planning should be devised taking into account the distinct advantages of both mechanisms. A new trajectory planning algorithm is designed and used for the constructed planar laser-cutting machine, and some benchmark pieces are cut. Findings-Offline method has practical limitations for employment in a real case scenario such as assuming infinite jerk limits for each axis motion. This limitation was removed by using an online trajectory generation technique. Experimental test results indicate that the online trajectory planning technique developed for the macro-micro mechanism to shorten the task duration was successful. Practical implications-Although the new trajectory planning algorithm is implemented for a laser-cutting machine, it can also be used for other manufacturing systems that require higher acceleration and accuracy levels than the conventional machines. The new algorithm is compatible with the commercially available CNC systems. Originality/value-In this work, a new approach to reducing the task duration for planar machining operations was introduced by making use of macro-micro manipulation concept. The core novelty of the work is devising trajectory planning algorithms to get the most efficiency in terms of acceleration limits from a macro-micro manipulation while making these algorithms deployable to most of the CNC systems.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Function Generation With Two Loop Mechanisms Using Decomposition and Correction Method(Elsevier, 2017) Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; Maaroof, Omar W.; Özkahya, Merve; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyMethod of decomposition has been successfully applied to function generation with multi-loop mechanisms. For a two-loop mechanism, a function y = f(x) can be decomposed into two as w = g(x) and y = h(w) = h(g(x)) = f(x). This study makes use of the method of decomposition for two-loop mechanisms, where the errors from each loop are forced to match each other. In the first loop, which includes the input of the mechanism, the decomposed function (g) is generated and the resulting structural error is determined. Then, for the second loop, the desired output of the function (f) is considered as an input and the structural error of the decomposed function (g) is determined. By matching the obtained structural errors, the final error in the output of the mechanism is reduced. Three different correction methods are proposed. The first method has three precision points per loop, while the second method has four. In the third method, the extrema of the errors from both loops are matched. The methods are applied to a Watt II type planar six-bar linkage for demonstration. Several numerical examples are worked out and the results are compared with the results in the literature.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Trajectory Planning for a Redundant Planar Laser-Cutting Machine With Macro-Micro Manipulation(IFToMM, 2015) Uzunoğlu, Emre; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Uzunoğlu, Emre; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Kiper, Gökhan; 03.10. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyKinematic redundancy in robots provide the control designer with infinite number of possibilities for improving the process for a selected target optimization criterion. A special type of kinematic redundancy is devised by using kinematically different two mechanisms with different advantages. In this case, the control design including the trajectory planning should be devised taking into account the distinct advantages of both mechanisms. In this work, a macro mechanism with larger workspace is used along with a micro mechanism that has higher dynamics and lower inertia. A trajectory planning algorithm integrated with the control structure making use of the previously defined advantages of both mechanisms is explained in this paper. A case study is provided to validate the developed algorithm.
