Instantaneous kinematics and design of a novel redundant parallel manipulator

摘要

In this paper we study the velocity and acceleration relations of a novel redundant parallel manipulator. Through this study, we derive the Jacobian matrices of the inverse and direct velocity problems. Moreover, we introduce two practical designs that are kinematically equivalent to the ideal manipulator. The proposed manipulator has potential to be used in a wide range of applications from space robotics to highly dexterous flight simulators.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
