Analysis of a Robot Wrist Device for Mechanical Decoupling of End-Effector Position and Orientation

  • Chapter
RoManSy 6

Abstract

To simplify the control model of the robot (geometric or kinematic) it is useful to uncouple end-effector position and orientation. But for a manipulator with a classical wrist, this is mechanically impossible. In this paper, we propose an orientation mechanism made up of three revolute joints, one of them is obtained by a seven-link mechanism derived from the “Peaucellier inversor”. A mechanical system involving a gripper is described.
