As Forward knematcs roblem of s knd of manulators s a very dffcult roblem to solve because of er hghly nonlnear relatons between ont varables and oston and orentaton of e end effectors, Numercal meods are e most common aroaches to solve. Nevereless, e ossble lack of convergence of ese meods s e man drawback. Therefore, artfcal neural networks (ANN) w er nherent learnng ablty as a strong meod, was used to aroxmate e forward knematcs functon wout any knowledge of manulator structure. In s aer, two tyes of ANN models were used. MLP (mult-layer ercetron network) and BF (radal bass functon network) have been used to solve e forward knematcs roblem of s hybrd manulator and results are obtaned. Smulaton results show e advantages of emloyng neural networks. Also, accordng to average ercentage error, as e erformance ndex, t was found at BF gves better result as comared to MLP.

2 Neural Network Solutons for Forward Knematcs by Ahmad Ghanbar, et.al. 49. INTODUCTION A hybrd manulaton system s a sequence of arallel mechansms whch can overcome e lmted worksace of arallel mechansm and can rovde feature of bo seral and arallel mechansm. They are able to acheve hgh stffness and hgh force-to-weght rato. Many dfferent tyes of hybrd robots have been nvestgated n [-4]. Tano [5] resented a hybrd (arallel seral) manulator consstng of two serally connected arallel mechansm and gave t s closed-form soluton for forward and nverse oston roblems. omdhane s [6] hybrd manulator s also made of a base and two latforms n seres and e moton of e md latform s restrcted only to ree translatons and e second latform rotates shercally w resect to e md latform usng ont connected e md latform and to latform. uang et al. [7] studed e characterstcs of 6 DOF arallel seral hybrd manulators whch features a 3 DOF n seres actuated module mounted on e movng late of anoer 3 DOF n arallel actuated manulator w rsmatc actuators. Yang et al. [8] dscussed e knematcs of hybrd tye manulaton system w 6 DOF, whch consst of a 3-DOF lanar arallel latform and a 3-DOF seral robot arm. uang et al. [9] studed a concetual desgn and dmensonal syness of a 3-DOF arallel mechansm module whch forms e man body of a newly nvented 5-DOF reconfgurable hybrd robot. LangZh et al. [0] studed a hybrd 5DOF manulator based on e novel 3-PS nactuated arallel manulator. In er desgn a DOF seral workng table s laced over e moble latform. Camos et al. [] resented a new meodology to synesze hybrd robots as a whole structure. Ther meod s based on Assure grous as e smlest basc blocks to buld knematc chans. Gallardo-Alvarado et al. [] studed Knematcs and dynamcs of (3-PS) manulators by means of screw eory and e rncle of vrtual work. Mohammadanah et al. [3] Desgn and Analyss of a Novel 8-DOF ybrd Manulator at s arorate for e stated alcatons by connectng two seral and arallel mechansms. Bng L et al. [4] used a hybrd manulator as a mult-dmensonal vbraton solator based on e arallel mechansm. The scheme desgn, nverse knematcs, worksace and dexterty are carred out n er aer. In s aer a novel hybrd robot (6-UPS) s ntroduced at comosed a sequence of two same stewart mechansm modules. The seral form of ese hybrd manulators overcomes e lmted worksace of arallel manulators and mroves overall stffness and resonse characterstcs. Then nverse and forward knematcs soluton s resented for t. Because of er hghly nonlnear relatons between ont varables and oston and orentaton of e end effectors, two tyes of ANN models - MLP (mult-layer ercetron network) and BF (radal bass functon network) - have been used to solve e forward knematcs. Ths aer s organzed as follows: In Secton, descrton of e robot s dscussed. In Secton 3, e nverse and forward knematc solutons are resented n e closed form. MLP network and BF meod to solve forward knematc (FK) are dscussed n secton 4. In secton 5 e results of solvng FK for (6-UPS) manulator robot by ese networks are resented. Comarson of ese networks and concluson are dscussed n secton 6.. DESCIPTION OF TE YBID OBOT The mechansm under nvestgaton n s aer conssts of two same modules at each module s Stewart Platform mechansm w 6 DOFs. In s hybrd mechansm, we have ree latforms and twelve ods. Base latform s statonary and connected to mddle latform va 6 extensble ods. Also, mddle latform s connected to uer latform (as an end effecter) va 6 extensble ods. Each od connects to e latform at ts connecton ont rough a shercal ont, and to e base at ts connecton ont rough unversal ont. Each od conssts of two arts: e uer art and e lower art, whch connect to each oer rough rsmatc ont. Therefore, t s referred to as e (6-UPS) mechansm. Ths manulator s actuated by motors located on e rsmatc onts. Fgure shows e desgn of e mentoned hybrd robot. Corresondng auor: Ahmad Ghanbar World of Scences Journal Emal: A-ghanbar@tabrzu.ac.r

FOWAD AND INVESE KINEMATICS SOLUTION Mechansm knematcs deals w e study of e mechansm moton as constraned by e geometry of e lnks. Tycally, e study of mechansm knematcs s dvded nto two arts: nverse knematcs and drect knematcs. About mentoned hybrd robot, e nverse knematcs roblem nvolves mang a known ose (oston and orentaton) of e movng latforms of e mechansm to a leng of each module s ods. The drect knematcs roblem nvolves e mang from a known leng of each module s ods to a ose of e movng latforms. In s secton e nverse and forward knematcs roblems of roosed mechansm are descrbed n closed form. Fgure shows e vectoral reresentaton of e od at each module. Accordng to fg., e mddle and uer movng latforms frame are shown by {C} and {C} resectvely and base frame w {O}. Also, X ( x, y, z, α, β, γ) and X ( x, y, z, α, β, γ ) resent e locaton and orentaton of e mddle and uer movng latform resectvely. Now, e nverse knematcs of each module s obtaned at frst, and en forward knematcs s consdered. Inverse Knematc roblem of e latforms nvolves determnaton of e lnear oston, of sx Pods for each module rough consderng a secfed oston, of e mddle and uer movng latforms centre. A.

But, because of hghly nonlnear characterstc of ese equatons, t s so dffcult to solve em. Therefore, ANN s aled to solve forward knematcs of s mechansm. () (3) (4) 4. ATIFICIAL NEUAL NETWOKS Artfcal neural network (ANN) s a arallel-dstrbuted nformaton rocessng system. Ths system s comosed of oerators nterconnected va one-way sgnal flow channels. ANN stores e samles w a dstrbuted codng, us formng a tranable nonlnear system. It ncludes hdden layer(s) between e nuts and oututs. The man dea of e ANN aroach resembles e human bran functonng. Therefore, ANN has a qucker resonse and hgher erformance an a sequental dgtal comuter. Gven e nuts and desred oututs, t s also self-adatve to e envronment so as to resond dfferent nuts ratonally. Varous neural networks have been used to solve e knematcs roblem [5]. They nclude e mult layer ercetron network (MLPN), cerebellar model artculaton controller (CMAC) and radal bass functon network (BFN). ere we use MLPN and BFN for soluton forward knematcs of (6-UPS) and resented a comarson between MLPN & BFN. A. MLPN for Knematc Soluton The multlayer ercetron network conssts of an nut layer, an outut layer and usually one or more hdden layers. Fg.3 shows e archtecture of MLP network emloyed for redcton e forward knematc soluton for uer module. It has an nut layer of 6 neurons, for each module, one hdden layer of 5 neurons w hyerbolc (tanh) actvaton functon, f (n), defned by functon gven n bellow as: f ( n) K tanh( K n ) (5) n N W x (6) K,K are constant coeffcent. For e outut layer, a lnear actvaton functon mlementaton. g ( n) n s used n e The aroxmatng functon Y reresentng Knematc soluton s defned by Eqs. (7) and (8). Ths entals fndng an aroxmatng functon Y reresentng forward knematc soluton s an N-dmensonal vector. Corresondng auor: Ahmad Ghanbar World of Scences Journal Emal: A-ghanbar@tabrzu.ac.r

BF for Knematc Soluton The BF archtecture used for e roosed e rocess s shown n Fg. 4. adal bass functon networks tycally have ree layers: an nut layer, a hdden layer w a nonlnear BF actvaton functon and a lnear outut layer. The actvaton functon n e hdden layer of e BF network s Gaussan, whch s characterzed by ts resonse at decreases monotoncally w dstance from a central ont. ws comonents at were used for MLP network are chosen. In e BF network, Y ( can be exressed as a lnear combnaton of multvarate Gaussan bass functon as follows: Y( M Wh( + b N h( ex ( ws c σ 0 k) () () Where h ( s e outut of node n hdden layer, c s e center of k ws, k σ s e wd of Gaussan functon, W s e weght between BF node for e k nut varable BF unt and outut layer neuron, b s e 0 bas term and Ms e number of hdden layer neurons. The learnng rocess of a radal bass functon network nvolve e determnaton of structural confguratons n terms of e number and oston of bass functon centers s mortant because t drectly affects e qualty of e functonal aroxmaton acheved by an BFN. ere, e values of center are selected randomly from e tranng data set. The wd of Gaussan radal bass functon s exressed n terms of e maxmum dstance between e chosen center d and e number of centers M as: d σ M (3) Thus, after all tranng atterns are resented to e BFN a M P nterolaton matrx Φ s obtaned. Every row corresonds to e resonses of all hdden unts for each attern and every column to each hdden unt rough all atterns. In order to determne an otmal weght vector at mnmzes e cost functon n e least squares manner, e nterolaton meod s used. It can drectly calculate e lnear weghts from target oututs and seudo-nverson of e nterolaton matrx from e followng equaton: W (ΦΦ) T T Φ T (4) Ths soluton roduces an otmal weght vector at mnmzes e cost functon derved from e sum-squared error as descrbed. Based on e gven sread, BF functon teratvely adds one neuron at a tme to e network untl e sum squared error falls below a secfed error goal or a maxmum number of neurons s reached. After several trals, a ree layer network archtecture havng 6 neurons n nut layer neurons for each module, 55 neurons n hdden layer and 6 neurons n outut layer neurons, for each module, s dentfed as e most sutable archtecture.

The ont sace of e robot can be consdered as an nverse mage of e Cartesan sace and vce versa. Based on s, t s decded to emloy nverse knematcs relatons for determnng e ose of each ods. The ose L and can be used as an nut and e corresondng locaton and orentaton of mddle and uer movng latforms ( X and X ) as e outut for e neural network tranng data. In oer words, L X and X relatonsh s used whle generatng e data whereas X Land X mang s done whle tranng e neural network. ANN traned w such data set s found to redct forward knematc solutons more accurately due to nsgnfcant mang errors between nut and outut data. The ose L and forms e nut and corresondng ( X and X ) forms e outut of e neural network. In order to mantan unformty n tranng of ANN, a smulaton data set us obtaned for tranng and testng of s network also conssts of 04 atterns.

CONCLUSION Ths chater has resented a novel hybrd robot w base of stewart mechansm and studed nverse and forward knematcs of t and e general background of artfcal neural networks and alcatons of neural networks to e forward knematcs roblem. The two most oular network tyes (MLPN and BFN), used wdely n knematcs aroxmaton, have been descrbed. The MLPN s a unversal and owerful soluton for almost all functonal aroxmaton alcatons due to ts nherent nonlnear mang caabltes whch can deal w a wde range of rocess features. owever, e tranng rocess s comlex because t nvolves a nonlnear otmzaton algorm whch requres an teratve rocedure and ere s no reasonable mechansm to select a sutable network confguraton. In contrast, e BFN tranng rocess s smle and straghtforward by usng a lnear otmzaton algorm based on e least squares technque. There are several solutons to choose e otmal selecton of e network confguraton from nformaton about e robotc system (tranng data) so at e generalzaton can be mroved. owever, t seems at e erformance of exstng aroaches (bo MLPNs Corresondng auor: Ahmad Ghanbar World of Scences Journal Emal: A-ghanbar@tabrzu.ac.r
