This paper presents the mobility analysis, the inverse and forward displacement analysis, and workspace of a novel 3-DOF 3-RPUR parallel manipulator. Closed-form inverse displacement solutions are obtained by the Denavit-Hartenberg method. The forward displacement problem is analyzed by using the continuation method and proved applying the result of the inverse displacement analysis. The workspace of the mechanism is also obtained. A numerical example is given in the paper.

SUMMARYIn the present paper, the kinematics of a three-degree-of-freedom spherical wrist is investigated. The wrist consists of a fixed base connected to a moving platform by three identical legs, each with a RRUR chain (R and U denote a revolute pair and a universal pair, respectively). For each leg, the first R pair is to be considered actuated. Although in previous works the kinematics synthesis of this architecture was carried out, no detailed studies were presented on the kinematic issues of the wrist. This paper presents the mobility analysis, the direct and inverse position kinematics, the differential kinematics of the manipulator including inspection on the jacobian matrix and the analysis of the singularities. The geometrical condition matched in case of mechanical interference between legs is addressed, too. A numerical example of the manipulator kinematics was performed to obtain the workspace, the condition number and the mechanical inteference condition.

This paper presents a novel parallel robot constructed with a three-limb CUP architecture. The mobility of the mechanism is obtained using screw theory, showing that the platform has three degrees of freedom, namely: (i) translation along the Z axis; and (ii) two rotations. The position analysis investigates the loop-closure equation resulting in a unique solution for the inverse kinematics problem and the identification of parasitic motions of the platform. The paper validates the analytical solution with a numerical example, where the results are compared with motion simulations of the manipulator using a commercially available software package.

This paper investigates the mobility of a family of fully translational parallel manipulators based on screw system analysis by identifying the common constraint and redundant constraints, providing a case study of this approach. The paper presents the branch motion-screws for the 3-RP̲C-Y parallel manipulator, the 3-RCC-Y (or 3-RP̲RC-Y) parallel manipulator, and a newly proposed 3-RP̲C-T parallel manipulator. Then the paper determines the sets of platform constraint-screws for each of these three manipulators. The constraints exerted on the platforms of the 3-RP̲Carchitectures and the 3-RCC-Y manipulators are analyzed using the screw system approach and have been identified as couples. A similarity has been identified with the axes of couples: they are perpendicular to theRjoint axes, but in the former the axes are coplanar with the base and in the latter the axes are perpendicular to the limb. The remaining couples act about the axis that is normal to the base. The motion-screw system and constraint-screw system analysis leads to the insightful understanding of the mobility of the platform that is then obtained by determining the reciprocal screws to the platform constraint screw sets, resulting in three independent instantaneous translational degrees-of-freedom. To validate the mobility analysis of the three parallel manipulators, the paper includes motion simulations which use a commercially available kinematics software.

Abstract Reducing consumed power of a robotic machine has an essential role in enhancing its energy efficiency and must be considered during its design process. This paper deals with dynamic modeling and power optimization of a four-degrees-of-freedom flight simulator machine. Simulator cabin of the machine has yaw, pitch, roll and heave motions produced by a 4RPSP+PS parallel manipulator (PM). Using the Euler–Lagrange method, a closed-form dynamic equation is derived for the 4RPSP+PS PM, and its power consumption is computed on the entire workspace. Then, a newly introduced optimization algorithm called multiobjective golden eagle optimizer is utilized to establish a Pareto front of optimal designs of the manipulator having a relatively larger workspace and lower power consumption. The results are verified through numerical examples.
