Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 機械工程研究所 === 82 === Tendon-driven robotic mechanisms have the advantages of remote control, light weight, small volume and easy manufacturation, so they are widely used in anthropomorphic robot hands. The purpose of this work os to propose a systematic methodology for the analysis and synthesis of kinematic structure of tendon -driven robotic mechanisms. First, an efficient graph representation is proposed and its adjacent matrix is defined. Next, based on the concept of transmission lines, we generate an algorithm of automatically listing of the kinematic equations and torque equations from mechanism graphs. A computer program for further developed for the automatic analysis of mechanisms with any numbers of degrees of freedom. Then, several principles of admissibility evaluations of existing mechanisms are proposed. The structural code and canonical routing direction are defined for the identification of isomorphisc mechanisms. A software of automatic analysis of kinematic structure of mechanisms is also developed. Last, a systematic methodology of synthesis of kinematic structure of tendon-driven robotic mechanisms is proposed. An atlas of 1-DOF to 5-DOF mechanisms is listed. The results of this research provides a powerful tool for the design of tendon- driven robotic mechanisms.
