Actuation Singularity Analysis of a 3-RPS Rotational Parallel Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a particular actuation singularity of a 3-RPS symmetrical rotational parallel mechanism (PM) is studied. When the movable platform of this PM is restricted to rotate about the vertical axis of the base, it is equivalent to a single loop mechanism (SLM). By analyzing the constraint properties of the SLM, the motion characteristics of this 3-RPS rotational PM under this motion are obtained and the actuation singularity is determined. This kind of singularity will happen when the actuated joints reach the extreme values which is similar to the dead point singularity of the planar slider-crank mechanism. The same kind of singularity occurs to this class of 3-DOF symmetrical PMs with similar structure and motion properties.

COORDINATE INFLUENCE ON SINGULARITY OF A 3-UPS PARALLEL MANIPULATOR
This paper shows the coordinates influence on singularity of a three degree-of-freedom structure, namely, three-Universal-Prismatic-Spherical (3-UPS) parallel manipulator. Rotational coordinates, which are chosen to define the orientation of the platform, affect the singularity of the manipulator. Euler parameters, which don't have any inherent geometrical singularity are utilized, however they...

This paper presents the kinematic analysis and the development of a 4-degree-of-freedom serial-parallel mechanism for large commercial vehicle driving simulators. The degrees of freedom are selected according to the target maneuvers and the structure of human motion perception organs. Several kinematic properties of parallel part of the mechanism under study are investigated, including the inve...
متن کاملInverse Dynamics of the Spatial 3-rps Parallel Robot
Recursive matrix relations for kinematics and dynamics of a spatial three-degrees-of-freedom 3-RPS parallel mechanism are established in this paper. Three identical legs connect the moving platform by revolute joints. Knowing the motion of the platform, we develop first the inverse kinematical problem and determine the positions, velocities and accelerations of the robot. Further, the inverse d...
متن کاملRedundant Actuation for Improving Kinematic Manipulability
Parallel mechanisms frequently contain an unstable type of singularity that has no counterpart in serial mechanisms. When the mechanism is at or near this type of singularity, it loses the ability to counteract external forces in certain directions. By altering the mechanism through, for example, additional kinematic linkages, the singularity can be modi ed or even removed. Another approach is ...
متن کاملKinematic Control of Parallel Robots in the Presence of Unstable Singularities
Parallel mechanisms frequently contain an unstable type of singularity that has no counterpart in serial mechanisms. When the mechanism is at or near this type of singularity, it loses the ability to counteract external forces in certain directions. This paper considers an interesting alternative to redundant actuation through the application of additional kinematic constraint via passive joint...
