Special cases of 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 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 Schönflies-singular planar parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type was already presented by the author in [6]. Moreover the main theorem on these manipulators was given in [7]. In this paper we give a complete discussion of the remaining special cases which also include so-called Cartesian-singular planar manipulators as side-product.

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 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...
متن کاملResults on Planar Parallel Manipulators with Cylindrical Singularity Surface
In this article we give first results on Stewart Gough Platforms with planar base and platform, 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. In this case the singularity set can easily be visualized as curve by choosing p as projection direction. Moreover the computation of sin...
