Abstract

Robotic mechanisms have been widely used, and the clearances existing in mechanism joints decrease the positioning accuracy and bring about the impact between joint elements. In this paper, the chaos caused by joint clearances is investigated, and a novel approach to suppress the chaos based on the trajectory planning of the robotic mechanism is presented. The dynamics of the robotic mechanism with joint clearances is analyzed, and the model of the worn revolute joint is established. Furthermore, the allowable abrasion depth is derived to suppress chaos for the worn joints.
