The paper deals with a workspace problem of the 3 RRR planar parallel mechanism, used as parallel robot structure. Depending on the dimensional parameters and constructive characteristics, the authors search to depict the shape and particularities of the mechanism workspace of a 3 RRR planar parallel mechanism. This characterization of the mechanism workspace depending on the dimensional parameters can be usefull in mechanism designing accorded to some functional particularities and also can help in avoiding singular configurations.

The paper deals with singularity problem of the closed-loop planar mechanisms. This problem is approached in addition with the force transmission quality in mechanism and mechanism self-locking. Another characteristic of this approach consist in the fact that it is based on the structural group notion. Taking into account its frequent usage in practice in the paper were treated only RRR, RRT and RTR structural groups.
