The determination of workspace is an essential step in the development of parallel manipulators. By extending the virtual-chain (VC) approach to the type synthesis of parallel manipulators, this technical brief proposes a VC approach to the workspace analysis of parallel manipulators. This method is first outlined before being illustrated by the production of a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided-design (CAD) model of a 3-RPS parallel manipulator and evaluating it for the workspace of the manipulator. Here, R, P and S denote revolute, prismatic and spherical joints respectively. The VC represents the motion capability of moving platform of a manipulator and is shown to be very useful in the production of a graphical representation of the workspace. Using this approach, the link interferences and certain transmission indices can be easily taken into consideration in determining the workspace of a parallel manipulator.

This paper describes the research results on telemicromanipulation systems for microlevel tasks. Because of its better manipulation precision, stiffness and speed characteristics, the parallel mechanism micromanipulator was chosen to compose our systems. First, the kinematic analysis of our original manipulator mechanism is performed. Then, the structure of our parallel manipulator, control scheme, and experimental results are shown. Position accuracy and device control characteristics are analyzed and the feasibility of the use of parallel mechanisms for micromanipulator is then discussed. A parallel manipulator motion is restricted by 3 factors: mechanical limits of the passive joints, collision between links and actuators limitations. Results of the numerical workspace analysis considering the above factors are shown. We are proposing the use of dual manipulators for implementing improved real manipulation systems. The first kinematics and workspace analysis of dual systems using the VR simulator are also shown.

Orientation Workspace

For a novel 3SPS+1PS parallel manipulator with 4 degrees of freedom including three rotations and one translation, the formulae for solving the inverse kinematics equations are derived based on quaternion method. Unit quaternion is used to represent the position and orientation of moving platform, and the singularities caused by Euler angles are avoided. Combining the topological structure characteristics of the parallel manipulator, it only has three rotations when its moving platform is at a given translation position. Based on the inverse position/pose equations and the all the constraints of the parallel manipulator, the discrete algorithm for the orientation workspaces of 3SPS+1PS parallel manipulator where the moving platform is at some different given translation positions are designed. The research builds the theoretical basis for optimizing the orientation workspace with given position.

In this article‚ a new approach is presented to determine the various shapes of workspaces of 5 bar symmetric planar parallel manipulators. Here the shape of the workspace is determined by the number of ways the workspaces of the two serial manipulators intersect with each other. Geometric conditions are established in each case and area of each shape of workspace is determined in closed form. Singularity is another important consideration in the design of parallel manipulators. In this paper, an approach is presented to go through the singularity points using an automatic selective actuation mechanism. A prototype 5-bar planar manipulator is fabricated along with an automatic selective actuation mechanism demonstrating the manipulator going through the singularity points.
