Abstract

Redundant manipulators are used in several areas because they can work with various postures. They are dexterous and can avoid crashing with obstacles during working in a complex environment. However, suitable redundant joints are difficult to identify. Manipulability is widely used to evaluate the posture of redundant manipulators. This approach aims to generate the motion of a manipulator with its trajectory and to determine its optimal posture. However, achieving these objectives is complex, and calculations involved are time consuming. In this study, a simple desired manipulability ellipsoid is proposed to reduce these shortcomings. The manipulator interacts with an object or its own inertia, and the suitable manipulability ellipsoid is related with these values. Therefore, this ellipsoid is calculated by using the desired force and velocity. In this manner, the redundant joint is controlled, and the current manipulability ellipsoid is similar to the desired manipulability ellipsoid, thereby enabling to approximately determine the optimal manipulability. The proposed method is tested by simulation and real model with four degrees of freedom manipulator. Subsequently, the similarity is validated.
