Inverse and forward kinematics and workspace analysis of a novel 5-DOF (3T2R) parallel–serial (hybrid) manipulator

Forward and inverse kinematics of a hybrid series-parallel manipulator

In this paper, the forward and inverse kinematic relations of a hybrid 6-DOF robotic manipulator, named the H6AR, are presented. The H6AR consists of twin 2-DOF anthropomorphic arms that can move in the vertical plane. These arms are connected, at one end, to a 1-DOF waist and constrained, at the other end, by a novel wrist assembly. The wrist contains an actuator only for the pitching motion a...

An Analysis of the Inverse Kinematics for a 5-DOF Manipulator

This paper proposes an analytical solution for a 5-DOF manipulator to follow a given trajectory while keeping the orientation of one axis in the end-effector frame. The forward kinematics and inverse kinematics for a 5-DOF manipulator are analyzed systemically. The singular problem is discussed after the forward kinematics is provided. For any given reachable position and orientation of the end...

Analyses of Inverse Kinematics, Statics and Workspace of a Novel 3RPS- 3SPR Serial-Parallel Manipulator

A novel 3RPS-3SPR serial-parallel manipulator (S-PM) with 6 degree of freedoms (DOFs) is proposed in this paper. It includes a lower 3RPS parallel manipulator (PM) and an upper 3SPR PM. Its inverse kinematics, active forces and workspace are solved. First, the inverse displacement is solved in close form based on the geometrical and the dimensional constraints of this S-PM. Second, the 9×9 and ...

Kinematic Mapping and Forward Kinematic Problem of a 5-DOF (3T2R) Parallel Mechanism with Identical Limb Structures

The main objective of this paper is to study the Euclidean displacement of a 5-DOF parallel mechanism performing three translation and two independent rotations with identical limb structures-recently revealed by performing the type synthesis-in a higher dimensional projective space, rather than relying on classical recipes, such as Cartesian coordinates and Euler angles. In this paper, Study's...
