Singularity Analysis of the Planar 3-RRR Parallel Manipulator Considering the Motion/Force Transmissibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Singularity is an inherent characteristic of a closed-chain manipulator. This paper presents an approach to singularity analysis of the planar 3-RRR parallel manipulator. On the basis of screw theory, the motion/force transmission analysis of the manipulator is first achieved. The singularity is classified into three types: constraint singularity, input transmission singularity, and output transmission singularity, in which the last two ones can be investigated by two indices correspondingly. By using the proposed method, not only can all types of possible singularity configurations and their singular loci be identified, but their physical meanings are also explained in terms of their motion/force transmission performances, which make 3-RRR parallel manipulator more comprehensible.

This paper shows the coordinates influence on singularity of a three degree-of-freedom structure, namely, three-Universal-Prismatic-Spherical (3-UPS) parallel manipulator. Rotational coordinates, which are chosen to define the orientation of the platform, affect the singularity of the manipulator. Euler parameters, which don't have any inherent geometrical singularity are utilized, however they...
