The paper discusses the use of parallel computing on a central processing unit (CPU) to solve the forward kinematics of a parallel hexapod robot. The paper proposes two algorithms to solve the forward kinematics. The first is based on the direct use of the system of equations of kinematic relations of the mechanism. The approximation of a set of system solutions represents a problem of a nine-dimensional grade. The second approach is based on the approximation of a set of solutions to the system of inequalities of a three-dimensional grade. A software package for implementing the proposed algorithms was developed. The comparative analysis of the effect of parallel computing on the speed of the presented algorithms was carried out.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
