Generation of Architecturally Singular 6-SPS Parallel Manipulators with Linearly Related Planar Platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
An architecturally singular parallel manipulator is a parallel manipulator with architectural singularities spanning the whole workspace. It should be abandoned in the design process. This paper deals with the generation of architecturally singular 6-SPS parallel manipulators with linearly related planar platforms. The forward displacement analysis of the 6-SPS parallel manipulator with linearly related planar platforms is performed at first. All the architecturally singular 6-SPS parallel manipulators with linearly related planar platforms are then generated. It is found that a 6-SPS parallel manipulator with linearly related planar platforms is architecturally singular if and only if all the spherical joints on the base (or moving platform ) are located on a conic section. At last, self-motion analysis of the architecturally singular 6-SPS parallel manipulators with linearly related planar platforms is addressed.

Main theorem on Schönflies-singular planar Stewart Gough platforms
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 paral...

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...
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 کاملA remarkable set of Schönflies-singular planar Stewart Gough platforms
We present a set of planar parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type which are singular with respect to the Schönflies group X(a) without being architecturally singular. This set of so called Schönflies-singular planar parallel manipulators is characterized by the property that the carrier plane of the platform or of the base anchor points is orthogonal to the rotational axis a of the Schönfl...
