Abstract
In this study, a two-dimensional truss binary manipulator is considered as a controlled plant. The reachable points of the binary manipulator form a discrete set of points, and their distribution depends on the parameters of each binary actuator, e.g., the binary actuator lengths. In this paper, a novel parameter design method for the binary manipulators is proposed. In this method, two different criteria, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistic and radius of the maximum empty circle (MEC) are combined. Minimizing the KS-statistic maximizes the density of reachable points and makes their distribution close to uniform one. In addition, minimizing the radius minimizes the upper bound of the positioning error of end effecter. Numerical design results for the two-dimensional truss binary manipulator are presented to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.

Inverse Kinematics of Binary Manipulators Using a Continuum Model
Binary actuators have only two discrete states, both of which are stable without feedback. As a result, manipulators with binary actuators have a finite number of states. The major benefits of binary actuation are that extensive feedback control is not ...
