This work reports on some kinematic and dynamic properties of a four-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator generating three-rotation-one-translation (3R1T) motion. The input-output equations of velocity and acceleration of the robot manipulator are systematically established by resorting to reciprocalscrew theory. Meanwhile, the generalized force...

Context 1
... this section the architecture of the parallel manipulator at hand is outlined. With reference to Fig. 1, the parallel manipu- lator under study comprises a rectangular moving platform (p) of sides b and d and a square fixed platform (0) of side √ 2a connected each other by means of four active identical UPS-type limbs and one passive PS-type central kinematic chain labeled as the fifth limb of the manipulator. Meanwhile, the underlined ...

... platform is included in expres- sion (1) with the purpose to satisfy an algebraic requirement: the six-dimensional nature of the velocity state 0 V p C . With this as- sumption in mind it follows that 0 ω 5 1 = 1 ω 5 2 = 0. In what fol- lows, the infinitesimal screws representing the kinematic pairs of the surrounding limb is explained. Referring Fig. 1, the screw as- sociated to the revolute joint connecting the ith limb to the fixed platform is denoted as 0 $ 1 i where the primal part of it is normal to the plane of the fixed platform while 1 ...

In this work, we address the problem of kinematic modeling and control design of a multifingered robot hand. Each robot finger is modeled as a parallel manipulator and its kinematic constraints are computed from empirical analysis due to the inherent mechanical complexity of the mechanism. The motion control problem for a grasped object is solved b...

In this work, the kinematics of a spherical parallel manipulator composed of three peripheral limbs equipped with linear actuators and a passive center shaft is approached by means of the theory of screws. The displacement analysis is carried out solving closure equations, which are obtained upon simple linear combinations of the components of two...

This work reports on some kinematic properties of a series-parallel manipulator whose architecture is based on the topology of the 3RPS tangential parallel manipulator where R, P and S stand, respectively, for Revolute, Prismatic and Spherical joints. The mobility of the robot is carefully investigated in order to elucidate the available freedoms o...

This paper presents a motion planner for systems subject to kinematic and dynamic constraints. The former appear when kinematic loops are present in the system, such as in parallel manipulators, in robots that cooperate to achieve a given task, or in situations involving contacts with the environment. The latter are necessary to obtain realistic tr...
