This paper deals with the second order kinematics of three degree-of-freedom (DOF) planar parallel manipulators. The simple and compact expressions are derived for both the inverse and forward acceleration analyses using screw theory. Moreover, as an example, a 3-DOF planar parallel manipulator is introduced and its kinematics is analyzed using the proposed method.

Parallel manipulators has been extensively studied by virtues or its high force-to-weight ratio and widely spread applications such as vehicle or flight simulator, a machine tool and the end effector of robot system. However, as each limb includes several rigid joints, assembling error is demanded strictly, especially in precision measurement and micro-electronics. On the other hand, compliant mechanisms take advantage of recoverable deformation to transfer or transform motion, force, or energy and the benefits of compliant mechanisms mainly come from the elimination of traditional rigid joints, but the traditional displacement method reduce the stiffness of spatial compliant parallel manipulators. In this paper, a new approach of structure synthesis of 3-DoF rotational compliant parallel manipulators is proposed. Based on screw theory, the structures of RRS type 3-DoF rotational spatial compliant parallel manipulator are developed. Experiments via ANSYS are conducted to give some validation of the theoretical analysis.

This paper presents an approach to compliance modeling of three-translation and two-rotation (3T2R) overconstrained parallel manipulators, especially for those with multilink and multijoint limbs. The expressions of applied wrenches (forces/torques) exerted on joints are solved with few static equilibrium equations based on screw theory. A systematic method is proposed for deriving the stiffness model of a limb with considering the couplings between the stiffness along the constrained wrench and the one along the actuated wrench based on strain energy analysis. The compliance model of a 3T2R overconstrained parallel mechanism is established based on stiffness models of limbs and the static equilibrium equation of the moving platform. Comparisons show that the compliance matrix obtained from the method is close to the one obtained from a finite-element analysis (FEA) model. The proposed method has the characteristics of involving low computational efforts and considering stiffness couplings of each limb.

A spherical parallel manipulator (SPM) refers to a 3-DOF (degree-of-freedom) parallel manipulator generating 3-DOF spherical motion. A method is proposed for the type synthesis of SPMs based on screw theory. The wrench systems of a spherical parallel kinematic chain (SPKC) and its legs are first analyzed. A general procedure is then proposed for the type synthesis of SPMs. The type synthesis of legs for SPKCs, the type synthesis of SPKCs, as well as the selection of inputs of SPMs are dealt with in sequence. An input validity condition of SPMs is proposed. SPKCs with and without inactive joints are synthesized. The number of overconstraints of each SPKC is also given. The phenomenon of dependent joint groups in an SPKC is revealed for the first time.

Dynamic modeling serves as the fundamental basis for dynamic performance analysis and is an essential aspect of the control scheme design of parallel manipulators. This report presents a concise and efficient solution to the dynamics of Stewart parallel manipulators based on the screw theory. The initial pose of these manipulators is described. Then the pose matrix of each link of the Stewart parallel mechanism is obtained using an inverse kinematics solution and an exponential product formula. Considering the constraint relationship between joints, the constraint matrix of the Stewart parallel manipulator is deduced. In addition, the Jacobian matrix and the twist of each link are obtained. Moreover, by deriving the differential form of the constraint matrix, the spatial acceleration of each link is obtained. Based on the force balance relationship of each link, the inverse dynamics and the general form of the dynamic model of the Stewart parallel manipulator is established and the process of inverse dynamics is summarized. The dynamic model is then verified via dynamic simulation using the ADAMS software. A numerical example is considered to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this model. The proposed dynamic modeling approach serves as a fundamental basis for structural optimization and control scheme design of the Stewart parallel manipulators.

SUMMARYSingular configurations of parallel manipulators (PMs) are special poses in which the manipulators cannot maintain their inherent infinite rigidity. These configurations are very important because they prevent the manipulator from being controlled properly, or the manipulator could be damaged. A geometric approach is introduced to identify singular conditions of planar parallel manipulators (PPMs) in this paper. The approach is based on screw theory, Grassmann–Cayley Algebra (GCA), and the static Jacobian matrix. The static Jacobian can be obtained more easily than the kinematic ones in PPMs. The Jacobian is expressed and analyzed by the join and meet operations of GCA. The singular configurations can be divided into three classes. This approach is applied to ten types of common PPMs consisting of three identical legs with one actuated joint and two passive joints.

Based on screw theory,a systematic method is proposed to synthesis symmertrical non-overconstrained 3-DOF translational parallel manipulators(TPMs).Firstly,the configuration conditions of non-overconstrained TPMs are analysis.The generation of symmertrical non-overconstrained TPMs is reduced to design the structure of serial chains with one infinite pitch wrench,and to combine the same serial chains inparallel.Finally,making sure that, the union of the wrench for the same serial chains in each combination constitutes a three infinite pitch wrench system.we get all the 3-legged symmertrical non-overconstrained TPMs.

SUMMARYThis study addresses the kinematics of a six-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator whose moving platform is a regular triangular prism. The moving and fixed platforms are connected to each other by means of two identical parallel manipulators. Simple forward kinematics and reduced singular regions are the main benefits offered by the proposed parallel manipulator. The Input–Output equations of velocity and acceleration are systematically obtained by resorting to reciprocal-screw theory. A case study, which is verified with the aid of commercially available software, is included with the purpose to exemplify the application of the method of kinematic analysis.
