Abstract
Imprecision of robot's internal sensors and its influence on trajectory tracking tasks along with high dynamic requirements are the main issues in this paper. The solution proposes redundancy introduction (in the shape of small mechanism at the top of the robot) for resolving both problems. The inverse kinematics of the redundant robot has been solved at the tactical level of control via the Distributed Positioning (DP) concept. The redundancy applied reduces the tracking error caused by dynamic requirements and partly by imprecision of internal sensors. However, additional solutions with external position sensor could be used in order to reduce sensor imprecision influence. All solutions are very conservative considering changes in basic (non-redundant) robot. Simulation results provide clear insight in the validity of proposed solutions.
