Stiffness Model of a 3-DOF Parallel Manipulator with Two Additional Legs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the stiffness modelling of a 3-DOF parallel manipulator with two additional legs. The stiffness model in six directions of the 3-DOF parallel manipulator with two additional legs is derived by performing condensation of DOFs for the joint connection and treatment of the fixed-end connections. Moreover, this modelling method is used to derive the stiffness model of the manipulator with zero/one additional legs. Two performance indices are given to compare the stiffness of the parallel manipulators with two additional legs with those of the manipulators with zero/one additional legs. The method not only can be used to derive the stiffness model of a redundant parallel manipulator, but also to model the stiffness of non-redundant parallel manipulators.

Changing Assembly Modes without Passing Parallel Singularities in Non-Cuspidal 3-RPR Planar Parallel Robots
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.

The ability to perform different tasks by a serial manipulator mounted on legged robots, increases the capabilities of the robot. The position/force control problem of such a robot in the stance phase with point contacts on the ground is investigated here. A target plane with known stiffness is specified in the workspace. Active joints of the legs and serial manipulator are used to exert the de...

متن کاملStiffness Analysis of a Planar 3-RPS Parallel Manipulator
This paper studied the stiffness model and characteristics of a planar 3-RPS PM with 3-DOF. The 6 × 6 form stiffness matrix of the planar 3-RPS PM is derived with both active and constrained wrenches considered. To characteristic the stiffness of the planer 3-RPS PM, two decomposition methods including the eigenscrew decomposition and the principle axes decomposition are applied to the stiffnes...
