Parallel manipulators consist of fixed and moving platforms connected to each other with some actuated links. They have some significant advantages over their serial counterparts. While, they suffer from relatively small workspaces, complex kinematics relations and highly singular points within their workspaces. In this paper, forward kinematics of Tricept parallel manipulator is solved analytically and its workspace optimization is performed. This parallel manipulator has a complex degree of freedom, therefore leads to dimensional in-homogeneous Jacobian matrices. Thus, we divide some entries of the Jacobian by units of length, thereby producing a new Jacobian that is dimensionally homogeneous. Moreover, its workspace is parameterized using some design parameters. Then, using GA method, the workspace is optimized subjects to some geometric constraints. Finally, dexterity of the design is evaluated.

Manipulator selari mempunyai beberapa kebaikan tertentu dibandingkan dengan yang bersamaan dengannya. Walaupun ia mempunyai ruang kerja yang sempit, hubungan kinematik kompleks dan titik tunggal tinggi dalam linkungan ruang kerjanya. Dalam kajian ini, kinematik ke hadapan manipulator selari Tricept diselesaikan secara analisa dan pengoptimuman ruang kerja dijalankan. Manipulator selari ini mempunyai darjah kebebasan yang kompleks, yang menyebabkan ia mendorong kepada kehomogenan dimensi matriks Jacobian. Catatan Jacobian dibahagikan kepada unit panjang, dimana ia menghasilkan Jacobian baru yang homogen dimensinya. Tambahan, ruang kerjanya diparameterkan dengan menggunakan beberapa parameter reka bentuk. Kemudian, dengan kaedah GA, ruang kerja mengoptimakan subjek kepada beberapa kekangan geometrik. Akhirnya, kecakatan reka bentuk dinilaikan.Keywords- Kinematic, Workspace, Singularity, Tricept

A new kinematic design of a parallel spherical wrist with actuator redundancy is presented. A special feature of this parallel manipulator is the arrangement of co-axial actuators which allows unlimited rotation about any axis inside a cone-shaped workspace. A detailed kinematic analysis has shown that actuator redundancy not only removes singularities but also increases workspace while improving dexterity. The structure optimization has been performed with a global dexterity criterion. Using a conditioning measure, a comparison with a non-redundant structure of the same type was performed and shows that a significant improvement in dexterity has been obtained.

Abstract Presented is an analysis of the kinematics and the inverse dynamics of a proposed three DOF parallel manipulator resembling the Stewart platform in a general form. In the kinematic analysis, the inverse kinematics, velocity and acceleration analyses are performed, respectively, using vector analysis and general homogeneous transformations. An algorithm to solve the inverse dynamics of the proposed parallel manipulator is then presented using a Lagrangin technique. In this case, it is found that one should introduce and subsequently eliminate Lagrange multipliers in order to arrive at the governing equations. Numerical examples are finally carried out to examine the validity of the approach and the accuracy of the numerical technique employed. The trajectory of motion of the manipulator is also performed using a cubic spline.

A four-degree-of-freedom (DOF) 3T1R parallel manipulator is presented in this paper. This manipulator generates the family of so-called Schönflies motions, SCARA motions or 3T1R motions, in which the moving platform can translate in all directions and rotate around an axis of a fixed direction. The kinematic analysis of this architecture is presented, including the study of the constraint singular configurations, kinematic singular configurations, and the determination of the workspace. A prototype (the Quadrupteron) is also presented and demonstrated. The characteristics of the proposed prototype are (a) there is no constraint singularity, (b) its input-output equations are partially decoupled, (c) its kinematic singular configurations can be expressed using an equation in the angle of rotation of the moving platform and are thus easy to avoid at the design stage, and (d) its forward displacement analysis requires the solution of a univariate quadratic equation and can therefore be solved efficiently.

In this paper, a parallel manipulator is comprised of sliders and links. The end-effector has an orientation. Sliders execute a linear motion along parallel guidelines and make the connected links rotate. We derived displacement, velocity and acceleration from kinematic analysis of this manipulator using direct and inverse kinematics,found constraint conditions and proposed the verification algorithm of constraint conditions. With the result from the simulation, we found that there was a local workspace where the manipulator cannot carry out a series of link motion.
