For a Cable-Driven Parallel Manipulator (CDPM), due to the unilateral driving properties of the cables, maintaining positive cable tension is essential to maneuver the moving platform. As a result, its workspaces are always determined and characterized by the tension status of its driving cables. It has been realized that the Tension Factor (TF) reflecting the relative tension distribution among the driving cables is an appropriate measure to evaluate the quality of force closure for CDPMs. However, in a fully restrained CDPM, since redundant cables are employed to drive the moving platform, the TF values are not unique even for a particular moving platform pose. Therefore, how to obtain the optimal TF value so as to generate an optimized workspace becomes the major subject of this paper. It is proved that the optimal TF value can be efficiently determined through a linear optimization approach, although it is essentially a nonlinear optimization problem. Subsequently, a global tension index is proposed to evaluate the quality of the entire workspace, which is achieved by integrating the local TF values (i.e., the optimal TF values at every moving platform poses) over the workspace. Computation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

Research paper thumbnail of Quick response circuit for low-power LDO voltage regulators to improve load transient response

Simulating by HSPICE with 0.35μm CMOS technology shows that we can achieve the transient responses with less transient overshoot or undershoot when driving large current loads. Comparing to the generic LDO, for example, in case of 1μF decoupling capacitor, about 95% output drop and 27% settling time for 0.1mA to 100mA load current and 88% output overshoot and 63% settling time for 100mA to 0.1mA load current have been together improved. The proposed circuit only dissipates low static power, so we could achieve the above LDO with only 3.3μA consuming current at V out + 1V and 150mA load current. V out is the output voltage of the regulator.

For both serial and parallel manipulators torque failure is indeed a worst case scenario. Thus, a systematic analysis of the effects of external forces on manipulators with passive joints is presented.

Thus, a systematic analysis of the effects of external forces on manipulators with passive joints is presented. In parallel manipulators passive joints can appear as a design choice or as a result of torque failure. In both cases a good understanding of the effects that passive joints have on the mobility and motion of the parallel manipulator is crucial. We first look at the effect that passive joints have on the mobility of the mechanism. Then, if the mobility, considering passive joints only, is not zero we find a condition for which the parallel manipulator is conditionally equilibrated with respect to a specific external force.

Particularly, we investigate how well subjective metrics perform compared to objective metrics. To find the best metrics to describe the performance of a control scheme is challenging when human operators are involved; how the user perceives the performance of the controller does not necessarily correspond to the directly measurable metrics normally used in controller evaluation. It is therefore important to study whether there is any correspondence between how the user perceives the performance of a controller, and how it performs in terms of directly measurable metrics such as the time used to perform a task, number of errors, accuracy, and so on.
