Freeing the Serial Mechanism Designer from Inverse Kinematic Solvability Constraints by Diana C. W. Friedman, Tim Kowalewski, Radivoje Jovanovic, Jacob Rosen, Blake Hannaford

“…The method is implemented on the C-arm, a manipulator designed for use in robotic surgery. The inverse kinematics solution provides all possible solutions for any six degree-of-freedom serial manipulator, assuming that the forward kinematics are known and that it is possible to solve for the remaining joint angles if one joint angle’s value is known. …”

Dynamics Simulation and Fatigue Life Analysis of Precision Servo Reducer by Liu Xinmeng, Zhang Liyong, Wang Changlu, Yang Huibo

“…The characteristic of precision planetary reducer are small size,high precision,small backlash and high stiffness.So it is widely used in robotics,machine tools,medical,military,printing and other industries.But the fatigue failure is easily to occur in precision planetary reduce for its small module,wide speed range and variable load.According to the characteristic of precision servo reducer,the gear dynamic meshing force and fatigue life of planetary gear train are obtained through the dynamics and collaborative simulation.The results show that the sun gear which is the weakness of system can well meet the design requirements.This method which using the dynamic meshing force to analyze the fatigue life of precision servo reducer is more in line with the actual working condition of the reducer.And it can provide the basis for product design and development.…”
