Summary

Novel kinematic architectures can be alternatives for designing energy efficient robotic systems. In this work, the impact of kinematic redundancies in the energy consumption of a planar PKM, the 3PRRR manipulator, is experimentally verified. Because of the presence of the kinematic redundancies, the inverse kinematic problem presents infinity solutions. In this way, a redundancy resolution scheme based on the Model Predictive Control technique is proposed and exploited. It can be concluded that the energy consumption of the non-redundant parallel manipulator 3RRR for executing predefined tasks can be considerably reduced by the inclusion of kinematic redundancies.
