Minimizing Energy Consumption of Parallel Mechanisms via Redundant Actuation PROJECT TITLE :Minimizing Energy Consumption of Parallel Mechanisms via Redundant ActuationABSTRACT:This paper shows that redundant actuation will scale back the energy consumption of parallel mechanisms, in some cases by a considerable margin. A theoretical analysis for the energy-saving mechanism is elucidated, and an energy consumption model for a servo-motor system is proposed. Our hypothesis is experimentally verified with a widely used 2 degree of freedom parallel mechanism style driven by three actuators. Experimental results show that redundant actuation can cut back the electrical energy consumption of the actuators by up to 45percent compared to the corresponding nonredundantly actuated version of the mechanism.
