“…This study focuses on the 3RRR symmetric planar robot shown in Figure 2. Existing literature models [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] position active joints at the base joints, i.e., P, Q, and R, whereas passive joints are at points A, B, C, D, E, and F. This study proposes a mathematical model of a planar parallel robot where the active joints are rather located at joints P, D, and A, all of which belong to a single kinematic chain. The kinematic models derived in this work are then compared and contrasted to the conventional models in Table 1, and a discussion of the advantages of our derived models is provided.…”
