Main theorem on Schönflies-singular planar Stewart Gough platforms
نویسنده
چکیده
Parallel manipulators which are singular with respect to the Schönflies motion group X(a) are called Schönflies-singular, or more precisely X(a)-singular, where a denotes the direction of the rotary axis. A special class of such manipulators are architecturally singular ones because they are singular with respect to any Schönflies group. Another remarkable set of Schönfliessingular planar parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type was already presented by the author. In this paper we give the main theorem on X(a)-singular planar parallel manipulators and discuss the consequences of this result.

متن کاملMain Theorem on Planar Parallel Manipulators with Cylindrical Singularity Surface
In this article we prove that there do not exist non-architecturally singular Stewart Gough Platforms with planar base and platform and no four anchor points collinear, whose singularity set for any orientation of the platform is a cylindrical surface with rulings parallel to a given fixed direction p in the space of translations.
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 کاملOn equiform Stewart Gough platforms with self-motions
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 manip...
متن کاملSelf-motions of planar projective Stewart Gough platforms
In this paper, we study self-motions of non-architecturally singular parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type, where the planar platform and the planar base are related by a projectivity. By using mainly geometric arguments, we show that these manipulators have either so-called elliptic self-motions or pure translational self-motions. In the latter case, the projectivity has to be an affinit...
