Abstract

The trajectory tracking control of 3-RPS parallel mechanisms which severs to motion control is widely used in industrial, medical, aerospace and other fields. However, the existing method are troubled by complicated calculation of Lagrange multipliers. To address this problem, we propose a new method for trajectory tracking control of 3-RPS parallel mechanism based on the Udwadia-Kalaba equation (U-K equation). This method allows for the availability of the dynamics equation of the 3-RPS parallel mechanism in analytic form, taking into consideration whether the holonomic and nonholonomic constraints are ideal at the same time. A distinct feature of this method is the division of constrains into structural and kinematic constraints. The dynamics model of 3-RPS parallel mechanism is established by using structural constraints, while the kinematic constraints are used to represent the expected motion trajectory. For the nonlinear dynamic system of 3-RPS parallel mechanism, the second order differential form of constraints is used to determine the constraint force to achieve the desired motion. In the whole process of trajectory tracking control, auxiliary variables such as Lagrange multipliers or pseudo-generalized velocity are not needed. Finally, the simulation results show that the 3-RPS parallel mechanism can meet the desired motion with accurate tracking of the trajectory.
