Forward Kinematics Analysis of a 3-PRS Parallel Manipulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article the homotopy continuation method (HCM) to solve the forward kinematic problem of the 3-PRS parallel manipulator is used. Since there are many difficulties in solving the system of nonlinear equations in kinematics of manipulators, the numerical solutions like Newton-Raphson are inevitably used. When dealing with any numerical solution, there are two troublesome problems. One is that good initial guesses are not easy to detect and another is related to whether the used method will converge to useful solutions. Results of this paper reveal that the homotopy continuation method can alleviate the drawbacks of traditional numerical techniques. Keywords—Forward kinematics; Homotopy continuation method; Parallel manipulators; Rotation matrix

متن کاملKinematic analysis of a 3-PRS parallel manipulator
Although the current 3-PRS parallel manipulators have different methods on the arrangement of actuators, they may be considered as the same kind of mechanism since they can be treated with the same kinematic algorithm. A 3-PRS parallel manipulator with adjustable layout angle of actuators has been proposed in this paper. The key issues of how the kinematic characteristics in terms of workspace ...
