Topological and Kinematic Singularities for a Class of Parallel Mechanisms
We study singularities for a parallel mechanism with a planar moving platform in ℝ𝑑(𝑑=2,3), with joints which are universal, spherical (spatial case), or rotational (planar case). For such mechanisms, we give a necessary condition for a topological singularity to occur, and describe the correspondin...

Summary: | We study singularities for a parallel mechanism with a planar moving
platform in ℝ𝑑(𝑑=2,3), with joints which are universal, spherical (spatial case),
or rotational (planar case). For such mechanisms, we give a necessary condition
for a topological singularity to occur, and describe the corresponding kinematic
singularity. An example is provided. |
