We study the kinematic geometry of general 3-RPR planar parallel robots with actuated base joints. These robots, while largely overlooked, have simple direct kinematics and large ...
- This paper introduces a new approach to identify singularities of planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). This method is based on Maxwell’s reciprocal figure theory which establis...
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 ...
—A new lightweight planar parallel platform aims to greatly improve operational speed of electronic manufacturing process and to realize a “smart parallel platform” through t...
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 parall...
