Singular configurations of parallel manipulators and Grassmann geometry

نویسنده

چکیده

Parallel manipulators have a specific mechanical architecture where all the links are connected both at the base and at the gripper of the robot. By changing the lengths of these links we are able to control the position 1 of the gripper. In general for a given set of links lengths there is only one position for the gripper. But it may be suspected that in some In this paper position means position and orientation

Singularity analysis of a fully parallel manipulator with five-Degrees-of-Freedom based on Grassmann line geometry

This paper addresses the singularity analysis of a fully parallel manipulators with five degrees of freedom, based on line geometry. Starting from the inverse Jacobian matrix, which maps the moving platform’s twist to the actuated joint velocities, the singularity analysis is transformed into a search for specific geometric conditions, which apply, when the manipulator is in a singular pose. Fu...

On the Kinematic, Kinetostatic and Dynamic Properties of Parallel Manipulators in the Presence of Singularity

Introduction Over the past decades, with the large development of parallel structures, more attention has been paid to their kinematic, kinetostatic and dynamic properties, and in particular, to their singularities. Several papers deal with singularity analysis of parallel manipulators [111]. Most of them present the analysis of singular configurations from a kinematic point of view [1-5]. Alge...

On the Dynamic Properties of Flexible Parallel Manipulators in the Presence of Type 2 Singularities

In the present paper, we expand information about the conditions for passing through Type 2 singular configurations of a parallel manipulator. It is shown that any parallel manipulator can cross the singular configurations via an optimal control permitting the favorable force distribution, i.e., the wrench applied on the end-effector by the legs and external efforts must be reciprocal to the tw...

Investigation of the Deficiencies of Parallel Manipulators in Singular Configurations Through the Jacobian Nullspace

It is well known that parallel manipulators may encounter singular configurations that can result in a loss of full constraint. The nature of the kinematic deficiency at such a singular configuration can be analyzed by calculating the nullspace of the Jacobian matrix at that configuration. The result is a set of one or more screws, called the EE deficiency twists, representing the unconstrained...
