Kinematically Redundant Manipulators
(
Chiaverini
, et al., 2008)
Redundant Manipulators
: When a robotic manipulator has
more DOF than those strictly required to execute a given task.
Advantages of Redundant Manipulators:
•
Increase dexterity
•
Extend the applications workspace
•
Resolve the singularity, joint limits and workspace obstacles
problems
•
Increase robustness to faults
improve reliability
•
Allow
self
-
motions
(internal motions) of the manipulator
•
Minimize torque/energy
over a given task (manipulator can
achieve a higher degree of autonomy).
•
Imitate Human arm
: 7 DOF (3 in the shoulder, 1 in the elbow ,
3 in the wrist) without considering the DOFs in the fingers.

Redundancy Resolution via
Optimization
Analytical Method
for redundancy resolution
(
Ivlev
, et al., 1997)
The redundant robot is
extended by imaginary links
, which limit
the flexibility of the robot and adapt it to the working space,
without fixing some of the joints.
Forward kinematics
Inverse kinematics
Redundant kinematic structure (N>M):
r=N

.
Introduce

additional conditions to:
-
Limit the robots flexibility
-
Allow the demanded end
-
effector movement
-
Restrict the actual robots work
-
space with respect of obstacles

Extend the redundant kinematic chain
with
r
imaginary links
(each with 2 non
-
actuated spherical joints at both sides).
Each link is connected to:
An imaginary fixed point in Cartesian space (

).
The redundant kinematic chain at the other end.

The final position will be reached in

with an approximately linear path.
For every iteration

Only

-
Determine
the joint rotation that minimizes the distance
4
-
Execute
in virtual model the previous rotation and returns to 1
while the end
-
effector doesn't arrive to the goal.
Last joints first:
-
In each iteration, it is first rotated by degrees the
joint
closer to the end
-
effector
.
-
If none of these two rotations approaches the end
-
effector to
the goal, the next joint is rotated (and so on).
-
When the rotation of degrees doesn't decrease the distance
of the end
-
effector to the goal, then the value of is reduced.

These two heuristic methods present
similar position errors

Heuristic Method
for Redundancy resolution
(Marques, et al., 2009)
Example:
the human kinematic control
Large number of DOF, tree structure, unstable equilibrium …
R
equires an approach for multiple tasks prioritization
(keeping balance is more important than reaching an object)
Formulation of the problem:
Tasks
(T

, …
T

)
with an order of priority
(T
i
has priority over T
i+1
)
.
Task
T
i
controls location and/or orientation of one or more end
-
effectors simultaneously, and is defined by
Find a joint velocity vector such that every kinematically
achievable task
T
i
is satisfied, unless it conflicts with a higher
-
priority task
T
j
(j <
i
)
; in this case, its error has to be minimized.

Comparison of the two formulations and Simulation results:
Computational cost of the formulation
: depends on the
computational cost of a single iteration, and the quality of the
convergence.
(F1) is slightly faster than (F2).
Priorities
among multiple cartesian tasks of diverse nature
have
been respected
.
Optimization of a desired criterion
in joint space may be applied
with lowest priority without affecting the progress of these tasks
Major problems of (F2):
inefficient task mapping that searches
the least
-
squares solution in the unconstrained subspace.
(F1) formulation
faces the algorithmic singularities problem, but
the artifacts can be reduced with proper damping.

Secondary Task
helps the main task to be
completed faster
and
enhance its performance
by enlarging the
nb
of available DOF.
When the 2
ndary
task goes in the same direction than the main
task
Solution:
impose the secondary control law not to
increase the error of the main task.
Continuous approach:
Classical redundancy formalism (1):
The projection operator is used to transform any 2
ndary
vector
z
into a 2
ndary
control law that does not disturb the main task.

for Robot Control
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
Continuous approach:
Extended projection (2) :
Search of a projection operator
P
(of a secondary task z) so that
respects the convergence condition:
Using SVD decomposition of J:
For any task function
e
whose Jacobian
J
is full rank: If the
following control law is applied to the robotic
system, then the error
e
asymptotically converges to zero.

(Mansard, et al., 2009)
Stability
theorem:
Discrete approach (3):
The solution of potential oscillations requires considering the
robot as a discrete system
Convergence condition:
Final control law:
where
For any task function
e
whose Jacobian
J
is full rank, If the
following control law: is applied to the robotic
system, then, given that
∆t
is sufficiently small, the error
asymptotically converges to zero.
21
Directional Redundancy
for Robot Control
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
Stability
theorem:
Comparison and remarks:
The projection operator
in (2) has more non zero coefficients
(more free DOF) than that in case of classical redundancy (1).
(3) accelerates the decreasing
of each component
of the error
and takes the secondary task into account in the same way.
The system is globally stable, and asymptotically converges to
the main task completion and to the best reachable local
minimum of the secondary task.
22
Directional Redundancy
for Robot Control
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
Application to visual servoing:
The robot has to move with respect to a visual target, and
simultaneously to take into account a secondary control law.
Cost function for avoidance:
Its gradient can be considered as an artificial force, pushing the
robot away from the undesirable configurations.
Joint
-
Limit Avoidance Law:
The cost function reaches its maximal value near the robot joint
limits, and the gradient is nearly zero far from the limits.
Occlusion Avoidance Law:
It should maximize the distance
d
between the occluding object
and the visual target that is used for the main task.
23
Directional Redundancy
for Robot Control
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
Experimental results:
Classical redundancy
: Rank(P) = 3 during the whole execution.
Perfect exponential decrease of the error.
Directional Redundancy
: Rank(P)> 3 while the error of the main
task is not null. The convergence of the 1
st
component of the
main
-
task error is accelerated by the secondary task. When it
reaches 0, the projection operator looses a rank.

Generally task is defined by

Exist tasks described by a set of
unilateral constraints e

Examples:
joints limits, collision avoidance, visibility loss,
avoidance of singularities.

Control
:
Assume that
J is perfectly known
. The control law is then always
stable, and asymptotically stable if
J
is full rank.

Integrate Unilateral Constraints into

(Mansard, et al., 2009)
25
Solution
: smooth H, by introducing an activation buffer
before the point of activation of the constraint.
Problem
: The activation buffer is not considered due to
inner mathematical simplification of the control law.
Keeping the Continuity at the Kinematics Level:
Consider a task
e
, its Jacobian
J
(
n
×
m
,
cte
rank
r
) and its
activation matrix
H
(diagonal matrix /
h
i
in the interval [0,1]).
The continuous inverse of J activated by H is defined by:
where
X
p
Coupling matrices of J :
26
all the subsets composed
of the m first integers
Integrate Unilateral Constraints into
SoT
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
where
Using this equation, each component of the task is:
• Perfectly realized if the corresponding
h
i
is equal to 1.
• Not taken into account if
h
i
is zero.
• Partially realized otherwise.
Extension of the Control law to k tasks:
where
+ Similar in shape to the classical control law.
+ Ensures the continuity whatever the evolution of the
activation of the features.
27
Integrate Unilateral Constraints into
SoT
(Mansard, et al., 2009)
+ Ensure the priority order of active features (when feature is
fully active, it is not disturbed by tasks of lower priority.
-
Like the classical pseudo inverse, it is sensitive to the
singularities of the Jacobian (& same set of singular points)
+ Points that are regularized by the continuous inverse are the
activation points of the unilateral constraints, which were
impossible to consider using the classical approach.
To smooth these singularities of the Jacobian:
-
Use the DLS instead of the classical pseudo inverse
priority order will not be ensured perfectly any more.
-
Set an explicit constraint to avoid the neighborhood of
singular points (
Gienger
, et al., 2006).
