A New Gantry-Tau-Based Mechanism Using Spherical Wrist and Model Predictive Control-Based Motion Cueing Algorithm

Abstract

SUMMARYThe 3 degree-of-freedom Gantry-Tau manipulator with the addition of the spherical wrist mechanism which is called Gantry-Tau-3R is designed as a high-G simulation-based motion platform (SBMP) with the capability of generating the large linear and angular displacement. The combination of both parallel and serial manipulator in newly designed Gantry-Tau-3R mechanism improves the ability of the mechanism to regenerate larger motion signals with higher linear acceleration and angular velocity. The high-frequency signals are reproduced using the parallel part of the mechanism, and sustainable low-frequency accelerations are regenerated via the serial part due to the larger rotational motion capability, which will be used through motion cueing algorithm tilt coordination channel. The proportional integral derivative (PID) and fuzzy incremental controller (FIC) are developed for the proposed mechanism to show the high path tracking performance as a motion platform. FIC reduces the motion tracking error of the newly designed Gantry-Tau-3R and increases the motion fidelity for the users of the proposed SBMP. The proposed method is implemented using Matlab/Simulink software. Finally, the results demonstrate the accurate motion signal generation using linear model predictive motion cues with a fuzzy controller, which is not possible using the common parallel and serial manipulators.

A Comprehensive Study on Torchvision Pre-trained Models for Fine-grained Inter-species Classification

“…Collection of images was done using web scrappers as well as manually capturing flower images. One of the methods to increase the performance of models is to provide more training examples [34], [35]. this method can be accomplished with data augmentation where random examples are taken from the data set, and then apply different image processing methods on these examples, such as rotation, horizontal mirroring, and magnification.…”

An Optimal Motion Cueing Algorithm Using the Inverse Kinematic Solution of the Hexapod Simulation Platform

“…They have lots of benefits, including the depletion of the damages, costs and time in both industrial and academical environments [1][2][3]. The motion signals from a real car is not able to be implemented directly to the SBMP due to the displacement, velocity and acceleration limitations of SBMP's active joints [4][5][6]. Moreover, the workspace of the SBMP decreases because of the collision between links and moving platform.…”

A Motion Cueing Algorithm Based on Model Predictive Control Using Terminal Conditions in Urban Driving Scenario

“…Qazani et al [28] T angle from angular displacement (AD) to produce the more accurate motion signal for mid-sized SBMPs. Qazani et al [29,30] introduced two novel mechanism to work as an SBMP with high fidelity, but they are not still suitable for urban driving scenarios including accelerations and deaccelerations and large turns because of skipping the consideration of the terminal conditions. Recently, Qazani et al [31,32] established the timevarying MCA based on MPC with ability of considering the nonlinearities of the mechanism.…”
