In this article, the basic constructs of algebraic kinematics (links, joints, and mechanism
spaces) are introduced. This provides a common schema for many kinds of problems that …

This paper presents a methodology for the Jacobian analysis of limited degrees-of-freedom
(DOF) parallel manipulators. A limited-DOF parallel manipulator is a spatial parallel …

In the area of parallel robots, the use of lower-mobility parallel manipulators for many tasks
requiring fewer than six degrees of freedom (DoF) has drawn a lot of interest. This paper …

Constraint singularities of parallel mechanisms Page 1 Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE
International Conference on Robotics 8 Automation Washington, DC - May 2002 Constraint …

This paper addresses the architecture optimization of a three-degree-of-freedom
translational parallel mechanism designed for machining applications. The design …

The structural characteristics associated with parallel manipulators are investigated. Using
these characteristics a class of 3 degree-of-freedom parallel manipulators are enumerated …

Although the current 3-PRS parallel manipulators have different methods on the
arrangement of actuators, they may be considered as the same kind of mechanism since …

This paper introduces a 3-DOF translational parallel manipulator called Cartesian Parallel
Manipulator (CPM). The manipulator consists of a moving platform that is connected to a …

A new three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) translational parallel manipulator (TPM) with
linear actuators, ie, 3-CRR TPM, is first proposed. The rotation singularity analysis, the …

A method is proposed for the type synthesis of 3-DOF (degree-of-freedom) translational
parallel manipulators (TPMs) based on screw theory. The wrench systems of a translational …
