Changing Assembly Modes without Passing Parallel Singularities in Non-Cuspidal 3-RPR Planar Parallel Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates that any general 3-DOF three-legged planar parallel robot with extensible legs can change assembly modes without passing through parallel singularities (configurations where the mobile platform loses its stiffness). While the results are purely theoretical, this paper questions the very definition of parallel singularities.

متن کاملDetermination of 3 − RPR Planar Parallel Robot Assembly Modes by Jacobian Matrix Factorization
This paper presents a new approach for the determination of 3 − RPR planar parallel robot assembly modes. In this approach, the parallel robot is considered as a multi robot system. The segments are then regarded as serial robots moving a common load. The proposed approach is based on a parallel robot Jacobian matrix factorization. This factorization is an extension of global formalism develope...
متن کاملA simple proof that generic 3-RPR manipulators have two aspects
Avoiding singularities in the workspace of a parallel robot is an important issue. The case of 3-RPR planar robots is an important subject of theoretical studies. We study the singularities of planar 3-RPR robots by using a new parameterization of the singular locus in a modified workspace. This approach enables us to give a simple alternative proof of a result recently proved by M. Husty: the ...
متن کاملNon-Singular Assembly-mode Changing Motions for 3-RPR Parallel Manipulators
When moving from one arbitrary location at another, a parallel manipulator may change its assembly-mode without crossing a singularity. Because the non-singular change of assembly-mode cannot be simply detected, the actual assembly-mode during motion is difficult to track. This paper proposes a global explanatory approach to help better understand non-singular assembly-mode changing motions for...
متن کاملSelf-Motions of General 3-RPR Planar Parallel Robots
This paper studies the kinematic geometry of general 3-RPR planar parallel robots with actuated base joints. These robots, while largely overlooked, have simple direct kinematics and large singularity-free workspace. Furthermore, their kinematic geometry is the same as that of a newly developed parallel robot with SCARA-type motions. Starting from the direct and inverse kinematic model, the exp...
