The paper presents a new algorithm to solve, in polynomial form, the forward kinematics of the general-geometry 6-6 fully-parallel manipulator. The forty solutions that the problem at hand admits in the complex domain are found by determining the roots of a 40th-order univariate polynomial equation. Unlike the existing algorithm, the proposed one is suitable for implementation in a standard floating-point computation environment. A numerical example shows application of the new algorithm to a case study.

Abstract This paper presents a polynomial solution to the five-position synthesis of spatial cylindrical-cylindrical dyads. The solution procedures start with the simplification of the synthesis equations derived by Tsai and Roth. The simplified equations are solved by Sylvester’s dialytic elimination method to obtain a univariate polynomial equation of degree six, which gives at most 6 CC dyads for the five-position synthesis. A numerical example with six real solutions is provided.

SUMMARYThis study addresses the kinematics of a six-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator whose moving platform is a regular triangular prism. The moving and fixed platforms are connected to each other by means of two identical parallel manipulators. Simple forward kinematics and reduced singular regions are the main benefits offered by the proposed parallel manipulator. The Input–Output equations of velocity and acceleration are systematically obtained by resorting to reciprocal-screw theory. A case study, which is verified with the aid of commercially available software, is included with the purpose to exemplify the application of the method of kinematic analysis.

In this paper, we turn plane seven-bar mechanism into spherical seven-bar mechanism, using quaternion to construct mathematical model for spherical seven-bar mechanism. Three constraint equations are obtained according to the angles constraint. Using Sylvester resultant elimination by two steps, a 32 degree univariate polynomial equation can be obtained. A numerical example confirms that analytical solutions of spherical seven-bar mechanism are 32 and with the help of Mathematic software to solve the location parameters.

Abstract It is well known that the direct position analysis of fully-parallel manipulators provides more than one solution, i.e., more than one configuration of the mechanism is possible for a given set of the actuated variables of motion. Extra information is, thus, necessary to find the actual configuration of the manipulator. This paper presents a new algorithm for the real-time computation of the actual configuration of the generalized Stewart-Gough manipulator, also known as 6-6 fully-parallel manipulator with general geometry. The proposed algorithm makes use of two extra rotary sensors in addition to the six normally implemented in the servosystems of the manipulator. A one-to-one correspondence between the sensor measurements and the manipulator configuration is provided. With respect to other algorithms recently presented in the literature, the proposed method greatly reduces the computational burden. Finally a case study shows the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

A new numerical method for the solution of the direct position analysis of the six d.o.f. fully parallel mechanism with general geometry, often referred to as generalized Stewart platform mechanism, is presented. The main feature of the method, making it attractive with respect to the methods available in the literature, is the ability to find out all the real solutions of the direct position analysis. The effectiveness of the new algorithm relies upon the solution of only one equation in one unknown. That equation is strictly representative of the problem, i.e., it is free from extraneous roots and every solution of the direct position analysis entails the existence of a root for the equation. A case study is reported.

Abstract To enrich the type of three-DOF parallel mechanisms, a novel 3-RRC platform mechanism model is presented in this paper. The upper platform of this 3-DOF parallel manipulator can realize three-dimension translations without any rotations. The solutions are developed for both the inverse and forward kinematics. The inverse position kinematics produces two solutions for each limb of manipulator. The forward position kinematics is reduced to an eighth-degree polynomial equation. The velocity and acceleration analyses are also given. Some numerical examples and relational curves are presented finally.

Manipulator Design

This paper proposed a new manipulator design concept which leads to a single DOF system. The system composed of a moving platform and several supporting legs. It can execute the tasks of 3D body guidance or path generation and thus replace expensive manipulators with high DOF in some conditions. There are mainly two steps in designing this manipulator. The first step is type synthesis to determine the number and types of legs. Dimensional synthesis is then executed based on the movement requirements and geometrical constraints. In this study the reduction of the DOF is also analyzed for various legs added between the moving platform and the ground. A numerical example of executing 3D body guidance is given to verify the proposed new concept.
