A study of the kinematic characteristics of a three degree-of-freedom (dof) parallel
mechanism is presented. The architecture of the mechanism is comprised of a mobile …

Parasitic motion is a major drawback of the general 1T2R parallel mechanism (PM), where T
denotes a translation degree of freedom (DOF) and R a rotational DOF. This paper …

The 1T2R parallel manipulator (PM) without parasitic motion is important in practical
applications because the orientation of the end effector can be controlled as being a …

The 3-PRS parallel mechanism (PM) is an important category of lower-mobility parallel
mechanisms. Because it can undergo one translational degree of freedom (DOF) and two …

This study derives the equation of parasitic motion of 3-DoFs parallel manipulator from the
velocity-level analytic-constraint equation and compares it with a well-known position-level …

This paper presents an optimal kinetostatic design method for a general 3PRS (Prismatic-
revolute-spherical) spatial parallel manipulator by formulating a multi-objective optimization …

Abstract A 2-URR-RRU parallel manipulator has two rotational degrees of freedom (DOF)
and one translational DOF, where U denotes a universal joint and R a revolute joint. The 2 …

A study of dimensional synthesis of a 3-DOF parallel manipulator with coupling of translation
and rotation is carried out. The architecture of the manipulator is composed of a moving …

This paper presents an efficient graphical representation geometric algebra approach for the
forward displacement analysis (FDA) of 3-PPS parallel mechanisms (PMs). Our approach …

Parallel mechanisms (PMs) having the same motion characteristic with a UP kinematic chain
(U denotes a universal joint, and P denotes a prismatic joint) are called UP-equivalent PMs …
