چکیده
ABSTRACT: This paper deals with the sensitivity analysis of 3-RPR planar parallel manipulators. First, the manipulators under study as well as their degeneracy conditions are presented. Then, an optimization problem is formulated in order to obtain their maximal regular dexterous workspace. Moreover, the sensitivity coefficients of the pose of the manipulator moving platform to variations in the geometric parameters and in the actuated variables are expressed algebraically. Two aggregate sensitivity indices are determined, one related to the orientation of the manipulator moving platform and another one related to its position. Then, we compare two non-degenerate and two degenerate 3-RPR planar parallel manipulators with regard to their dexterity, workspace size and sensitivity. Finally, two actuatingmodes are compared with regard to their sensitivity.

متن کاملA simple proof that generic 3-RPR manipulators have two aspects
Avoiding singularities in the workspace of a parallel robot is an important issue. The case of 3-RPR planar robots is an important subject of theoretical studies. We study the singularities of planar 3-RPR robots by using a new parameterization of the singular locus in a modified workspace. This approach enables us to give a simple alternative proof of a result recently proved by M. Husty: the ...
متن کاملOn the Kinetostatic Optimization of Revolute-Coupled Planar Manipulators
Proposed in this paper is a kinetostatic performance index for the optimum dimensioning of planar manipulators of the serial type. The index is based on the concept of distance of the underlying Jacobian matrix to a given isotropic matrix that is used as a reference model for purposes of performance evaluation. Applications of the index fall in the realm of design, but control applications are ...
