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; Kiper, Gökhan; Schmitz, M.; Corves, B.The 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 Pen Holder Design for a Handwriting Education Assistance Robot(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Güler, O.; Özdemir, Ekrem; Özdemir, E.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Balkan, M.A.; Öztürk, Ç.; Dede, M.İ.C.The aim of this work is to contribute to quality education by developing a robot system that can assist in handwriting education. The effects of educational robots on learning motivation and performance enhancement have been proven by various studies. In this context, the handwriting assistive robot aims to ease the work of teachers by enabling students to learn how to write more easily and to provide a platform where students can learn on their own. This robot can contribute to the spread of quality education by supporting equal educational opportunities, especially in disadvantaged areas and in cases where the number of teachers is insufficient. The robot supports three different operation modes: Active Mode, Assistive Mode, and Passive Mode. In this study, the pen holder design of this robot is presented. The final design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users, does not require an additional sensor, and the writing ergonomics is increased by keeping the contact point of the pen with the paper at a constant point independent of the holding style. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Towards Sustainable Manufacturing: a Review and Future Directions in Additive Manufacturing of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Türkcan, M.Y.; Tetik, Halil; Kurt, B.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Karaş, B.; Tetik, H.; Shokrani, A.; Dede, M.İ.C.The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a global framework for addressing critical challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity and sustainable industrialization. With increasing demand for products and improving quality of life, linear consumption of materials and resources following the “take-make-waste” is no longer possible. As such, innovative solutions are increasingly necessary to enable circular economy in manufacturing. Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a transformative technology in achieving SDGs by enhancing resource efficiency and minimizing waste. Fiber reinforced composites are a promising application of AM, as they offer the potential to optimize material use, reduce labor and support sustainable production practices. However, there is an urgent need for considering circular economy strategies, life cycle assessment (LCA) frameworks and effective recycling at the end of their lifetime. This study examines additive manufacturing systems for fiber-reinforced composites, their environmental impact and exploring the potential contributions of robotic integration in composite manufacturing to enhanced sustainability. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3A Continuously Variable Transmission System Designed for Human–robot Interfaces(Springer, 2021) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanWithin a predefined limit, continuously variable transmission (CVT) systems can continuously vary the power transmission ratio. The transmission in CVTs is achieved via friction, belt or gear systems. If CVT designs can incorporate backdrivability, independent output position and impedance variation, shock absorbtion, and low mass and inertia, they can be employed in human–robot interfaces. Among various types of CVT designs, the two-cone drive CVT designs have a major drawback since the output torque and position cannot be changed independent of each other. The friction wheel used in this design does not have a holonomic motion capability and causes this inconvenience. In order to overcome this problem, a sphere is used in this work for the CVT design as the transmission element. In addition, it is stated in the literature that common CVT drive systems do not have the capability to be used in cyclic bidirectional motion. In the presented CVT design, a second sphere is added to the system with two springs from the lower part of the cones for pretension in order to solve the bidirectional transmission problem. In this paper, the working principle and conceptual design details of the novel two-cone CVT drive are presented. Experimental results showed that the novel CVT has the capacity to transmit bidirectional power with some accuracy. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Conference Object Energy and Exergy Analysis of a Roof-Mounted Photovoltaic System in Gebze-Turkey(Springer, 2024) Khalejan, Seyed Hamed Pour Rahmati; Cankurt, Tolga; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanThis study investigates the electrical and thermal exergy, power conversion efficiency and exergy efficiency of a roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system considering environmental parameters such as solar irradiation, ambient temperature and wind speed over a year. The values of solar exergy and solar potential are obtained by taking into account the solar insolation. Experimental and theoretical results indicate that wind speed and surface temperature have significant effects on the thermal exergy and exergy efficiency of solar PV systems. The mean solar potential in the region was found to be 93%. In addition, the electrical exergy was varied from 9145 W to 40460 W and the thermal exergy of PV systems was varied from 1639 W to 6193 W. While the range of PV power conversion efficiency varies from 6.15% to 11.56% over a year, the range of exergy efficiency varies from 5.31% to 9.78%. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Conference Object Digital Twin of a Servo Driver of a Servo Motor as a First Step Towards a Digital Twin of a Robot Mechanism(Springer, 2022) Küçükoğlu, Sefa Furkan; Carbone, Giuseppe; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanDigital Twin (DT) offers us to acquire actual system’s critical information and hence, it may be possible to develop and produce more suitable systems in terms of low energy consumption and effectiveness. In this way, responsible consumption and production systems can be designed and the system’s parameters can be tuned via DT. In this study, the model of a servomotor system that is used for industrial purposes is experimentally obtained. This study consists of two steps. In the first step, within the embedded control of the system, position and velocity control loops are deactivated. Then through the servo driver, currents with sinusoidal waveforms at various frequencies are applied to the servomotor. The resultant angular velocity of the motor is monitored and recorded. The amplitude of the current is kept constant during this study. The frequency of the current, however, is increased logarithmically. By using these data, a first-order transfer function (TF) is identified for the motor model. In the second step, all control loops are activated. Consequently, the total servomotor system could be represented in a digital environment. Furthermore, the static friction issue is overcome by using a Coulomb friction model with stiction effect. Finally, several experiments are conducted and then results are compared with the digital model of the servomotor system. The results clearly show that digital model can fairly represent the physical system.Conference Object Training and Modelling the Non-Linear Behavior of an Mr Brake by Using Rnn and Lstm(VDE Publishing House, 2021) Karabulut, Mehmet Görkem; Küçükoğlu, Sefa Furkan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanA magneto-rheological (MR) fluid-based semi-active actuation system, or in other words, an MR-fluid based brake system, was designed for displaying larger amount of resistive forces without jeopardizing the dynamic performance of a haptic interface. The working principle of the MR brake device depends on the viscous fluid called MR fluid that changes its viscosity when exposed to the magnetic field. Thus, generated resistive torque can be controlled via regulating the magnetic field by modifying the electrical current that passes along a coil which provides this magnetic field.Dynamic system modeling is required in order to develop a high-performance control. In this study, modeling methods of an MR-fluid based brake is investigated in terms of its friction and hysteresis characteristics.There are numerous works in the literature in which two well-known learning sequence methods, Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), are used for non-linear dynamic system modeling. In the scope of this study, the performance of RNN and LSTM are compared with the Bouc-Wen model which is commonly used in MR-fluid based system modeling. The effect of learning rate and the number of epoch being the important hyper-parameters, for RNN and LSTM models are investigated.In accordance with these information, both methods can be used for the control purposes of a MR-fluid based brake system. © VDE VERLAG GMBH · Berlin · Offenbach.Book Part An Experimental Setup and Procedure for Stiffness Evaluation of Robot Manipulators(Springer, 2021) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Paksoy, Erkan; Carbone, Giuseppe; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanIn 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.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Computation Time Efficient Stiffness Analysis of the Modified R-Cube Mechanism(Springer, 2019) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanParallel manipulators are known to be more stiff than the serial manipulators. However, modeling the stiffness for parallel manipulators are difficult compared to serial manipulators due to the constrained structure and passive joints. In addition, computation of the stiffness model for parallel manipulators are exhausting since it requires an iterative solution algorithm due requirement of force-position convergence of all serial chains connecting to the same mobile platform. Direct solutions are faster however, they lack in accuracy. In this study, direct solution is preferred for real-time application and analytic stiffness model of the modified R-CUBE mechanism is obtained by using Virtual Joint Method (VJM). The finite element (FE) model is constructed and simulated to validate the analytical model. Then, a combination of external wrenches $$\pm 5$$ N in various directions are applied on the mobile platform in both FE and VJM in some critical poses. Finally, the computed numerical results are listed and compared along with their computation times. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019Conference 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; Van der Wijk, VolkertAssistive 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.
