ABSTRACT 

This paper presents the identijication of the best robot hand for the application of given task at the conceptual stage of 
design, based on the characteristics of kinematic chains like stiffness and compactness of the structure of the 
mechanism, The stiffness of the chain mainly depends upon the elasticity, supports and the dimension of the links of tlie 
mechanism. The chain with stiffer links will have the greater stiffness and lighter in weight, which leads the designer to 
think on load bearing capabilities of the chain. Compactness is the structural aspect of the chain, which tells about how 
closely the links of the chain arranged. More closeness leads to more compactness of the chain structurally, and more 
compactness leads to difficult in forward kinematics. The methodology adopted already by the Ashok dagar is been used 
in the present work to identify the best among the nine robot hands (ten bar single degree of freedom) based on the 
stiffness and compactness. Same characteristics are compared individually, and identified the best and high rated robot 
hands.

1. INTRODUCTION 

The classification of robots based on the level of sophistication, whether low or medium and/or high, we 
have grippers and end-effectors. The gripper consists of mechanism, which can be controlled with servo motors or 
controlling methods. The gripper is same as that of human hand, which also consists of finger tips for grasping and 
gripping of the objects. This is how grippers play a vital role in all aspects of robotic applications. Grippers find 
their application where, hazardous work environments like handling radioactive materials, welding with high 
temperature zones, special applications etc. The usage of the grippers may differ from geometry to geometry of the 
objects. As per the requirement of the objects, the design of robot hand gripper may vary. The main limitations of 
the robot hand grippers which we need to focus are difficulty in manipulation and stability of different irregular 
objects. In the history, many of the robot hands are there with multi number degree of freedom and controlling of 
this very much complex. 

2. LITERATURE SURVEY 

Based on the topology the kinematic chains and their characteristics can be read by the designer at the 
conceptual design stage, and can able to select the best mechanism to do the further work as per the application [1]. 
Ashok dargar modelled the kinematic chains as springs which are connected in series and obtained the 
characteristics as compactness and stiffness [2]. The performance of the kinematic chains was evaluated based on

the proposed concept of correlation by A. srinath and Rao[3]. A. C. Rao presented the different kinematic inversions using 
fuzzy logics [4]. A. C. Rao presented the work of selecting the best kinematic chain at the design stage by the proposed 
methodology of comparative study of chains and mechanisms using kinematic characteristics like stiffness and 
compactness of the mechanism, and has given logical aspects of weakness and strength of the chain/mechanism 
structurally to obtain the mechanical advantages of the chains/mechanisms. As a designer, one must know the ability of 
static behaviour of the chain/mechanism in transferring the force or torque. A chain, in which the links are connected close 
to each other resemble the compactness of the chain or mechanism. In the graph theory, the distance between the two links 
in the mechanism is equal to the least number of joints that separate them. This is how the compactness of the each 
mechanismis calculated. Now, the stiffness is the other characteristic considered and calculated. Stiffness depends on links 
stiffness and elasticity of the links[5]. A. C. Rao proposed another methodology for topological characteristics based on 
genetic algorithm [6]. Hong-Sen Yan and Chin-HsingKuo have focussed their attention in representing the kinematic 
characteristics of the mechanisms and their analysis of variable kinematic joints. The proposed work results the logical 
foundation of structural analysis of mechanisms with topological characteristics.[7] P. Vijay applied proposed 
methodology and rated the best mechanism at the design stage itself for nine ten bar mechanisms of single degree of 
freedom based on the joint matrix and chain value matrix like characteristics [8]. Shinji Nishiwaki proposed methodology 
based on topology of optimal structure for homogenation and flexibility applied to mechanisms[9]. QiongJin and Ting-Li 
Yang proposed a methodology for topology synthesis of parallel manipulators based actuation, built in it. The matrices of 
output and input characteristics result in formulating the formula for mobility equation and output character equation. 

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK 

The main objective of this work is to model the nine single degree of freedom, ten bar mechanism with the springs 
as the link forming closed kinematic chain, for which the topological characteristics such as stiffness and compactness for 
each mechanism are calculated by the application of proposed methodology by Ashok dargar [1] and are compared, and to 
rare the best mechanism to be suited for optimally converting the given input to the required output. The stiffness and 
compactness are formulated in terms of stiffness and distances matrices. The links of the mechanism are stiffer, then such 
mechanism is stiffer leads to less weight and more elastic and more flexible. The compactness resembling asmore closely, 
the links are connected then, the mechanisms is more compact and occupies less space. Based on these, the mechanisms 
are compared and are rated as more stiffer and high compactness.

The chain is modelled like a system of springs connected in series; the stiiTness of the chain can be calculated as 
the summation of the joint values j v [1] 

Summation of degree of links connected 

The joint values jv =-

= ‘/ 4 + 1 /4+1 /4+1 /4+1 /4.5+1/5+1 /2.5+1 /2+1 /4+1 /4

between two joints is least number of links that separate them. [1] 

Two distant matrices are calculated as D1 - link distance matrix and D2 -joint distance matrix and the link 
distance value and joint distance vale are nothing but sum of all elements of D1 and D2 values respectively. The D1 values 
are taken from the previous work of the author [7] for all the nine robot hands. Now the D2 for robot hand l(a) can be 
computed as follows:

5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 

The table gives the mechanisms with the stiffness values and compactness values, D1 and D2 distant matrices and 
robot hands (a) to (i). The rating of robot hands were done as per the stiffness value and based on the compactness value. 
The links are stiffer than the robot hand that is more rigid, and the links are closer, and more is the compactness i. e. 
structurally rigid. 

6. CONCLUSIONS 

A simple method to compute the stiffness of the mechanisms and compactness of the mechanism is applied 
successfully, for ten bar single degree of freedom of such nine robot hands, and are rated by comparing the stiffness and 
compactness. The stiffness and compactness will be more for the robot hands, whose value is low [1]. Out of the nine robot 
hands, robot hand (a) is stiffer having stiffness value 2.82, and robot hand (i) is more compact or rigid, having compactness 
value 500.
