A Novel Inverse Kinematic Approach for Delta Parallel Robot

Abstract

Delta robot is used in many applications in daily life, such as industrial processes or household activities. All these applications are needed point to point movements. To provide the reposition, inverse kinematic of delta robot needs to be solved in the control and design algorithm. General form of the inverse kinematic of Delta robot uses Cartesian coordinates. In this paper, a new approach for linear delta robot using cylindrical coordinates instead of Cartesian coordinates is explained. The linear delta robot has been constructed to compare our method with Cartesian approach. In order to verify the path of the end effector motion capture system is used. The acquired data has been evaluated in Matlab.
