It is known that parallel manipulators suffer from singular configurations. Evaluating the distance between a given configuration to the closest singular one is of interest for industrial applications (e.g.\ singularity-free path planning).…
It is well-known that parallel manipulators are prone to singularities. However, there is still a lack of distance evaluation functions, referred to as metrics, for computing the distance between two 3-RPR configurations. The proposed…
This paper proposes a redundancy resolution algorithm for a redundant manipulator based on dynamic programming. This algorithm can compute the desired joint angles at each point on a pre-planned discrete path in Cartesian space, while…
We develop an algorithm that solves the inverse kinematics of general serial 2RP3R, 2R2P2R, 3RP2R and 6R manipulators based on the HuPf algorithm. We identify the workspaces of the 3-subchains of the manipulator with a quasi-projective…
The aim of this paper is to characterize the notion of aspect in the workspace and in the joint space for parallel manipulators. In opposite to the serial manipulators, the parallel manipulators can admit not only multiple inverse kinematic…
The aim of this paper is to give a detailed examination of the input and output singularities of a 3-RUU parallel manipulator in the translational operation mode. This task is achieved by using algebraic constraint equations. For this type…
This paper investigates a situation pointed out in a recent paper, in which a non-singular change of assembly mode of a planar 2-RPR-PR parallel manipulator was realized by encircling a point of multiplicity 4. It is shown that this…
This paper deals with the comparison of planar parallel manipulator architectures based on a multi-objective design optimization approach. The manipulator architectures are compared with regard to their mass in motion and their regular…
This paper presents the kinematic analysis of the 3-PPPS parallel robot with an equilateral mobile platform and a U-shape base. The proposed design and appropriate selection of parameters allow to formulate simpler direct and inverse…
Presented in this paper is the kinematic analysis of a symmetrical three-degree-of-freedom planar parallel manipulator. In opposite to serial manipulators, parallel manipulators can admit not only multiple inverse kinematic solutions, but…
Recursive matrix relations for the complete dynamics of a 3-PRP planar parallel robot are established in this paper. Three identical planar legs connecting to the moving platform are located in the same vertical plane. Knowing the motion of…
The paper proposes a new calibration method for parallel manipulators that allows efficient identification of the joint offsets using observations of the manipulator leg parallelism with respect to the base surface. The method employs a…
The closest pair of points problem or closest pair problem (CPP) is an important problem in computational geometry where we have to find a pair of points from a set of points in metric space with the smallest distance between them. This…
A family of 3R orthogonal manipulators without offset on the third body can be divided into exactly nine workspace topologies. The workspace is characterized in a half-cross section by the singular curves. The workspace topology is defined…
In this paper, a new numerical method to solve the forward kinematics (FK) of a parallel manipulator with three-limb spherical-prismatic-revolute (3SPR) structure is presented. Unlike the existing numerical approaches that rely on…
Many parallel and distributed computing research results are obtained in simulation, using simulators that mimic real-world executions on some target system. Each such simulator is configured by picking values for parameters that define the…
This paper presents a novel three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) translational parallel manipulator (TPM) by using a topological design method of parallel mechanism (PM) based on position and orientation characteristic (POC) equations. The…
A family of reconfigurable parallel robots can change motion modes by passing through constraint singularities by locking and releasing some passive joints of the robot. This paper is about the kinematics, the workspace and singularity…
In this paper, we study the computation of curvatures at the singular points of algebraic curves and surfaces. The idea is to convert the problem to compute the curvatures of the corresponding regular parametric curves and surfaces, which…
In this paper, we introduce and study the Parallel Polyhedral Projection Method (3PM) and the Approximate Parallel Polyhedral Projection Method (A3PM) for finding a point in the intersection of finitely many closed convex sets. Each…
