Direct Kinematics of Double-triangular Parallel Manipulators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three types of double-triangular mechanism are introduced. These contain planar, spherical or spatial triangle pairs that move with respect to each other while remaining in line contact. Using planar, spherical and spatial trigonometry, the three pertinent direct kinematic problems are solved and typical numerical examples are presented.

A Unified Approach to Direct Kinematics of Some Reduced Motion Parallel Manipulators
After discussing the Study point transformation operator, a unified way to formulate kinematic problems, using “points moving on planes or spheres” constraint equations, is introduced. Application to the direct kinematics problem solution of a number of different parallel Schönflies motion robots is then developed. Certain not widely used but useful tools of algebraic geometry are explained and...
متن کاملWorking Modes and Aspects in Fully Parallel Manipulators
The aim of this paper is to characterize the notion of aspect in the workspace and in the joint space for parallel manipulators. In opposite to the serial manipulators, the parallel manipulators can admit not only multiple inverse kinematic solutions, but also multiple direct kinematic solutions. The notion of aspect introduced for serial manipulators in [1], and redefined for parallel manipula...

متن کاملDegeneracy study of the forward kinematics of planar 3-RPR parallel manipulators
This paper investigates two situations in which the forward kinematics of planar 3-RPR parallel manipulators degenerates. These situations have not been addressed before. The first degeneracy arises when the three input joint variables ρ1, ρ2 and ρ3 satisfy a certain relationship. This degeneracy yields a double root of the characteristic polynomial in tan( / 2) t φ = , which could be erroneous...
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...
