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; 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.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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 3A Geometrical Approach for the Singularity Analysis of a 3-Rrs Parallel Manipulator(Springer Verlag, 2018) Tetik, Halil; Kiper, GökhanIdentifying singularity manifolds of parallel manipulators analytically is a hard task due to their complex kinematics and passive joints. This study proposes to use the geometrical conditions of singularities in order to identify the singularity manifolds for a 3-RRS parallel manipulator. The singularity surfaces for both inverse and forward kinematics singularities are obtained and plotted.
