چکیده

In this paper, a method to compute joint space singularity surfaces of 3-RPR planar parallel manipulators is first presented. Then, a procedure to determine maximal joint space singularity-free boxes is introduced. Numerical examples are given in order to illustrate graphically the results. This study is of high interest for planning trajectories in the joint space of 3-RPR parallel manipulators and for manipulators design as it may constitute a tool for choosing appropriate joint limits and thus for sizing the link lengths of the manipulator.

Definition sets for the Direct Kinematics of Parallel Manipulators

The aim of this paper is to characterize the uniqueness domains in the workspace of parallel manipulators, as well as their image in the joint space. The notion of aspect introduced for serial manipulators in [Borrel 86] is redefined for such parallel manipulators. Then, it is shown that it is possible to link several solutions to the direct kinematic problem without meeting a singularity, thus...

Uniqueness Domains in the Workspace of Parallel Manipulators

This work investigates new kinematic features of parallel manipulators. It is well known that parallel manipulators admit generally several direct kinematic solutions for a given set of input joint values. The aim of this paper is to characterize the uniqueness domains in the workspace of parallel manipulators, as well as their image in the joint space. The study focuses on the most usual case ...

A study of the singularity locus in the joint space of planar parallel manipulators: special focus on cusps and nodes

— Dans une section de l'espace articulaire des ma-nipulateurs parallèles, les points cusps et noeuds ont un rôle essentiel dans le changement de mode d'assemblage. Ce travail présente une étude détaillée de ces points dans l'espace articu-laire et de travail. On démontre qu'un point cusp (resp. un noeud) définit un point de tangence (resp. un point d'intersec-tion), dans l'espace de travail, en...

Cusp Points in the Parameter Space of Degenerate 3-RPR Planar Parallel Manipulators

This paper investigates the conditions in the design parameter space for the existence and distribution of the cusp locus for planar parallel manipulators. Cusp points make possible non-singular assembly-mode changing motion, which increases the maximum singularity-free workspace. An accurate algorithm for the determination is proposed amending some imprecisions done by previous existing algori...

Machine Theory Increase of singularity-free zones in the workspace of parallel manipulators using mechanisms of variable structure

This paper is focused on the study of singularity of planar parallel manipulators taking into account the force transmission, i.e. study of singularity of planar manipulator by introducing the force transmission factor. Thus the singularity zones in the workspace of the manipulator are defined not only by kinematic criterions from the theoretical perfect model of the manipulator but also by the...
