A novel 3-UP3R parallel mechanism with six degree of freedoms is proposed in this paper. One most important advantage of this mechanism is that the three translational and three rotational motions are partially decoupled: the end-effector position is only determined by three inputs, while the rotational angles are relative to all six inputs. The design methodology via GF set theory is brought out, using which the limb type can be determined. The mobility of the end-effector is analyzed. After that, the kinematic and velocity models are formulated. Then, workspace is studied, and since the robot is partially decoupled, the reachable workspace is also the dexterous workspace. In the end, both local and global performances are discussed using conditioning indexes. The experiment of real prototype shows that this mechanism works well and may be applied in many fields.

The present paper proposes a new six-DOF parallel mechanism with three connecting chains. This mechanism can have a large angle of orientation of the output link. Joints in each connecting chain are arranged from the base in order of revolute, prismatic, spherical and revolute joints. All three revolute joints on the base are coaxial. With this structure, the output link can perform a full rotation around the vertical axis. The orientation capability of this mechanism is demonstrated. Equations for displacement analysis and the Jacobian matrix are derived. A design and prototype of this mechanism for a pipe-bender are shown.

Kinematic analysis plays an important role in the research of parallel kinematic mechanism. This paper addresses a novel forward kinematic solution based on RBF neural network for a novel 2PRRR-PPRR redundantly actuated parallel mechanism. Simulation results illustrate the validity and feasibility of the kinematic analysis method.

This article presents the kinematic analysis of a six-degree-of-freedom six-legged parallel mechanism of the 6-PUS architecture. The inverse kinematic problem is recalled and the Jacobian matrices are derived. Then, an algorithm for the geometric determination of the workspace is presented, which yields a very fast and accurate description of the workspace of the mechanism. Singular boundaries and a transmission ratio index are then introduced and studied for a set of architectural parameters. The proposed analysis yields conceptual architectures whose properties can be adjusted to fit given applications.

In this paper, inverse kinematic analysis of a proposed three link mechanism of a bio-inspired micro scanning device towed underwater by a surface vessel to actuate its aileron fins for its depth control and for its stabilization against roll is performed. Mechanism is actuated by IPMC actuators. To speed up the design verification process, computer aided simulations are used to perform motion analysis of the proposed IPMC actuated mechanism through Pro/Mechanism tool. Inverse kinematic analysis is performed to find out the joint variables of the mechanism to realize fin actuation along desired path. Displacements, velocities and accelerations of the links constructing mechanism are found out to establish their interrelationship. Results are analysed for the study of mechanism efficacy and for sizing the IPMC actuators. This paper contributes to introduce a new approach of virtual prototyping using advanced simulation tools for analysis and design verification of IPMC actuated mechanisms for biomimetic applications before moving into functional prototype stage.
