A methodology is proposed for unified solving active wrench of the limited-degree of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulators (PMs). First, the geometric constraints and the inverse displacement kinematics are analysed. Second, the formulae for unified solving the inverse/forward velocity and the translational/rotational Jacobian matrices and inverse/forward Jacobian matrices are derived. Third, the analytic formulae for unified solving the active wrench of limited-DOF PMs are derived based on the principle of virtual work. Finally, a 3-DOF PM with linear/rotational active legs is presented to illustrate the use of the methodology.

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.

Abstract The dynamic analysis of spatial four-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulators is presented in this article. First, expressions for the position, velocity and acceleration of each link constituting the manipulators are obtained. Then, the principle of virtual work is used to derive the generalized input forces of the manipulators. The corresponding algorithm is implemented and numerical examples are given in order to illustrate the results. The results obtained are verified using the classical Newton-Euler approach.

D'alembert's Principle

Application of D’Alembert’s principle for determination of dynamic bearing reactions in joints of spatial linkages and parallel manipulators needs the simultaneous solution of a large system of equations. The authors of this paper propose an approach that is a combined application of principle of virtual work and D’Alembert’s principle. The main advantages of the proposed approach are: (1) reduction of the number of equations that have to be solved simultaneously, and (2) simplification of the expressions for the relative virtual velocity. The proposed approach is illustrated with the example of a 7-bar linkage and its application is explained with the crank-slider linkage.

To solve the velocity and acceleration of legs with different structures is a fundamental and challenging issue for dynamics analysis of parallel manipulators (PMs). In this paper, the kinematics of linear legs with different structures for limited-degree of freedom (DOF) PMs is studied. First, based on kinematics/statics of general limited-DOF PM, the formulas are derived for solving the angular velocity/acceleration of some linear legs with different structures. Second, the velocity and acceleration of the piston/cylinder in the legs are represented by velocity and acceleration of platform in PM. Finally, the solving procedures are illustrated by applying this approach to a 4DOF PM.

This paper presents a systematic methodology for solving the inverse dynamics of a Stewart-Gough manipulator. Based on the principle of virtual work and the concept of link Jacobian matrices, a methodology for deriving the dynamical equations of motion is developed. It is shown that the dynamics of the manipulator can be reduced to solving a system of six linear equations in six unknowns. A computational algorithm for solving the inverse dynamics of the manipulator is developed and several trajectories of the moving platform are simulated. [S1050-0472(00)00401-3]

SUMMARYA novel analytic approach is proposed for determining the singularities of some four degree of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulators (PMs). First, the constraint and displacement of a general 4-DOF PM are analyzed. Second, a common 3 × 4 translational Jacobian matrix Jν and a common 3 × 4 rotational Jacobian matrix Jω are derived, and a 4 × 4 general Jacobian matrix J of the 4-DOF PMs is derived from Jν and Jω. Since a complicated process to determine singularities from the 4 × 6 Jacobian matrix is transformed into a simple process to determine singularity from J, the singularities of the some 4-DOF PMs with 3 translations and 1 rotation, or with 3 rotations and 1 translation, or with combined translation–rotations are analyzed and determined easily by this approach.

Analysis And Design

This paper addresses the singularity analysis and the design of three new types of kinematically redundant parallel mechanisms, i.e., the four-degree-of-freedom planar and spherical parallel mechanisms and the seven-degree-of-freedom spatial Stewart platform. The main idea in the design of these parallel manipulators is the addition of one redundant degree of freedom in one of the kinematic chains of the nonredundant manipulator. Such manipulators can be used to avoid the singularities inside the workspace of nonredundant manipulators. After describing the geometry of the manipulators, the velocity equations are derived and the expressions for the Jacobian matrices are obtained. Then, the singularity conditions are discussed. Finally, the expressions of the singularity loci of the kinematically redundant mechanisms are obtained and the singularity loci of the nonredundant and redundant manipulators are compared. It is shown here that the conditions for the singularity of the redundant manipulators are reduced drastically relative to the nonredundant ones. As a result, the proposed kinematically redundant parallel manipulators may be of great interest in several applications.
