Abstract:

Robot system used in building construction sites can efficiently reduce construction time and increase safety by replacing human in dangerous operations. This paper describes the development of a robotic manipulator control algorithm which provides stable and efficient gripping of a pendulum-like object. The pendulum object mimics the construction materials hanging from tower crane, such as steel beam and column. The robot should be able to handle the heavy objects in order to be used in the building construction sites. This control algorithm requires dynamic modeling of the hanging object. To simplify the analysis, the dynamic modeling was limited to the 2 dimensional pendulum movements in x-y plane. In order to achieve the stable and efficient gripping, a shock isolator is designed using a pre-acting control.
