The objective of the research project was to design and construct a 3DOF tripod-type electro-pneumatic parallel manipulator that could be used for pick-and-place tasks in municipal waste recycling facilities. The fundamental requirement was that the manipulator be simple and cheap to construct, operate and maintain as well as robust and resistant to damage. The forward and inverse kinematic problem as well as working space and strength analysis issues were used for construction of manipulator. The prototype was tested using different payloads and velocities to establish its positioning accuracy and repeatability. The robot behavior was controlled with a commercially available industrial controller, which was reported insufficient for point-to-point operations required during solid waste handling. Conclusions have been drawn on how to optimize the robot structure and control. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
