On equiform Stewart Gough platforms with self-motions
نویسنده
چکیده
A STEWART GOUGH (SG) manipulator, where the platform is similar to the base, is called equiform SG manipulator. It is well known that these SG manipulators with planar platform and planar base only have self-motions, if they are architecturally singular; i.e. the anchor points are located on a conic section. Therefore this study focuses on the non-planar case. We prove that an equiform SG manipulator has translational self-motions, if and only if it is a so-called reflection-congruent one. Moreover we give a necessary geometric property of non-planar equiform SG platforms for possessing non-translational self-motions by means of bond theory. We close the paper by discussing some non-planar equiform SG platforms with non-translational self-motions, where also a set of new examples is presented.

Review and recent results on Stewart Gough platforms with self-motions
In Section 1, we give a review on Stewart Gough (SG) platforms with self-motions and the related Borel Bricard problem. Moreover, in Section 2, we report about recent results achieved by the author on this topic (SG platforms with type II DM self-motions). In context of these results, we also present two new theorems in Section 3, which open the way for addressed future work. In Section 4, we g...
متن کاملNon-existence of planar projective Stewart Gough platforms with elliptic self-motions
In this paper, we close the study on the self-motional behavior of nonarchitecturally singular parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough (SG) type, where the planar platform and the planar base are related by a projectivity κ , by showing that planar projective SG platforms with elliptic self-motions do not exist. The proof of this result demonstrates the power of geometric and computational inter...
متن کاملIntroducing the theory of bonds for Stewart Gough platforms with self-motions0
We transfer the basic idea of bonds, introduced by Hegedüs, Schicho and Schröcker for overconstrained closed chains with rotational joints, to the theory of self-motions of parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type. Moreover we present some basic facts and results on bonds and demonstrate the potential of this theory on the basis of several examples. As a by-product we give a geometric charac...
متن کاملBasic result on type II DM self-motions of planar Stewart Gough platforms
In a recent publication [10] the author showed that self-motions of general planar Stewart Gough platforms can be classified into two so-called Darboux Mannheim (DM) types (I and II). Moreover, in [10] the author was able to compute the set of equations yielding a type II DM selfmotion explicitly. Based on these equations we present a basic result for this class of self-motions.
متن کاملTypes of self-motions of planar Stewart Gough platforms
With this talk, which is based on reference [1], we want to continue the series of contributions about selfmotions of Stewart Gough platforms given by Karger [2, 3] in the previous conferences on geometry – theory and applications, held in Vorau 2007 and Plzen 2009. We show that the self-motions of the general planar Stewart Gough platforms can be characterized in the complex extension of the E...
