چکیده
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the sensitivity analysis of 3-RPR planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). First, the sensitivity coefficients of the pose of the manipulator moving platform to variations in the geometric parameters and in the actuated variables are expressed algebraically. Moreover, two aggregate sensitivity indices are determined, one related to the orientation of the manipulator moving platform and another one related to its position. Then, a methodology is proposed to compare 3-RPR PPMs with regard to their dexterity, workspace size and sensitivity. Finally, the sensitivity of a 3-RPR PPM is analyzed in detail and four 3-RPR PPMs are compared as illustrative examples.

متن کاملSingular Curves in the Joint Space and Cusp Points of 3-RPR parallel manipulators
This paper investigates the singular curves in the joint space of a family of planar parallel manipulators. It focuses on special points, referred to as cusp points, which may appear on these curves. Cusp points play an important role in the kinematic behavior of parallel manipulators since they make possible a nonsingular change of assembly mode. The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Computing Cusp Points in the Joint Space of 3-RPR Parallel Manipulators
This paper presents an algorithm for detecting and computing the cusp points in the joint space of 3-RPR planar parallel manipulators. In manipulator kinematics, cusp points are special points, which appear on the singular curves of the manipulators. The nonsingular change of assembly mode of 3-RPR parallel manipulators was shown to be associated with the existence of cusp points. At each of th...
متن کاملKinematic analysis of a class of analytic planar 3-RPR parallel manipulators
A class of analytic planar 3-RPR manipulators is analyzed in this paper. These manipulators have congruent base and moving platforms and the moving platform is rotated of 180 deg about an axis in the plane. The forward kinematics is reduced to the solution of a 3-degree polynomial and a quadratic equation in sequence. The singularities are calculated and plotted in the joint space. The second-o...
