Kinematic analysis of the 3-RPR parallel manipulator (0708.3920v1)
Published 29 Aug 2007 in cs.RO
Abstract: The aim of this paper is the kinematic study of a 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator where the three fixed revolute joints are actuated. The direct and inverse kinematic problem as well as the singular configuration is characterized. On parallel singular configurations, the motion produce by the mobile platform can be compared to the Reuleaux straight-line mechanism.
