Dynamic Analysis of an Underwater Cable-Driven Manipulator with a Fluid-Power Buoyancy Regulation System
Abstract:
This article presents an underwater cable-driven manipulator (UCDM) with a buoyancy regulation system (BRS), which is controlled by a fluid-power system. The manipulator consists of five sections, and each section is embedded with a buoyancy adjustment unit. By regulating buoyancy at each section, the static and dynamic states of the manipulator will be changed, promising a new operating mode of an underwater manipulator driven by buoyancy. In this article, a dynamic model of the manipulator is established by the Newton-Euler equation, considering cable tension, inter-joint force, buoyancy, water resistance and other variables. With a numerical method, the dynamic model is solved and the values of cable tension are obtained, which are used to evaluate the buoyancy-driven operating mode of underwater manipulator. This research will be useful for manipulator operating in fluid environments, such as underwater manipulator in the ocean, micro-manipulator in a blood vessel, and so on.
