The exact position analysis of a planar mechanism reduces to compute the roots of its characteristic polynomial. Obtaining this polynomial almost invariably involves, as a first step, obtaining a system of equations derived from the independent kinematic loops of the mechanism. The use of kinematic loops to this end has seldom been questioned despite deriving the characteristic polynomial from them requires complex variable eliminations and, in most cases, trigonometric substitutions. As an alternative, the bilateration method has recently been used to obtain the characteristic polynomials of the three-loop Baranov trusses without relying on variable eliminations nor trigonometric substitutions and using no other tools than elementary algebra. This paper shows how this technique can be applied to members of a family of Baranov trusses resulting from the circular concatenation of the Watt mechanism irrespective of the resulting number of kinematic loops. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the characteristic polynomial of a Baranov truss with more that five loops has been obtained, and hence, its position analysis solved in closed form.

This paper presents a novel class 2 tensegrity robot which has contact between its rigid elements with a universal joint. Also, an strategy to obtain the forward and inverse position kinematic analysis using the parameters Denavit–Hartenberg in the distal convention is presented, obtaining the closed–form solution for the inverse position analysis and it was validated through simulation where a point of the robot followed the desired trajectory. Finally, the results were implemented in the experimental prototype of the novel class 2 tensegrity robot.

Stewart Platforms

Although Stewart platforms have been applied in the design of aircraft and vehicle simulators and parallel robots for many years, the closed-form solution of direct (forward) position analysis of Stewart platforms has not been completely solved. Up to the present time, only the relatively simple Stewart platforms have been analyzed. Examples are the octahedral, the 3–6 and the 4–4 Stewart platforms, of which the forward position solutions were derived as an eighth or a twelfth degree polynomials with one variable in the form of square of a tan-half-angle. This paper further extends the direct position analysis to a more general case of the Stewart platform, the 4–6 Stewart platforms, in which two pairs of the upper joint centers of adjacent limbs are coincident. The result is a sixteenth degree polynomial in the square of a tan-half-angle, which indicates that a maximum of 32 configurations may be obtained. It is also shown that the previously derived solutions of the 3–6 and 4–4 Stewart platforms can be easily deduced from the sixteenth degree polynomial by setting some geometric parameters be equal to 1 or 0.

Abstract Although Stewart platforms have been applied in the designs of aricraft and vehicle simulators and parallel robots in many years, their closed-form solution of direct (forward) position analysis has not been completely solved. Up to the present time, only the relatively simple Stewart platforms have been analyzed. Examples are the octahedral Stewart and the 4-4 Stewart platforms, in which two pairs of both upper and lower joint centers are coincident. The former results in in an eighth degree polynomial and the latter results in an eighth and a twelfth degree polynomials for different cases. The single unknown variable is in the form of square of a tan-half-angle. This paper further extends the direct position analysis to a more genearl case of the Stewart platform, the 4-6 Stewart platforms, in which two pairs of upper joint centers of adjacent limbs are coincident. The result is a sixteenth degree polynomial in the square of a tan-half-angle, which indicates that a maximum of 32 configurations may be obtained. It is also shown that the previously derived solutions of 4-4 and and 3-6 Stewart platforms can be easily deduced from the sixteenth degree polynomial by setting some geometric parameters be equal to 1 or 0.
