Kinematic effects of number of legs in 6-DOF UPS parallel mechanisms

Abstract: SUMMARYIn this paper, we study the kinematic effects of number of legs in 6-DOF UPS parallel manipulators. A group of 3-, 4-, and 6-legged mechanisms are evaluated in terms of the kinematic performance indices, workspace, singular configurations, and forward kinematic solutions. Results show that the optimum number of legs varies due to priorities in kinematic measures in different applications. The non-symmetric Wide-Open mechanism enjoys the largest workspace, while the well-known Gough–Stewart (3–3) platfor… Show more

“…This modification to the conventional Stewart mechanism improves its stiffness, static balance and reduces the overall cost of the manipulator (Furqan et al , 2017). By replacing the passive universal joints in the Stewart mechanism with active joints, the number of legs was reduced from 6 to 3 (Abedinnasab et al , 2017). This modification lightens the mechanism and lowers inertia effects.…”

“…Los mo-delos cinemáticos obtenidos son validados mediante un ejemplo numérico. Abedinnasab et al (2017) usan la teoría de tornillos para obtener la matriz Jacobiana de un mecanismo paralelo UPS de seis grados de libertad (GDL) y realizar un análisis de singularidades. En (Gallardo-Alvarado et al (2022)), los autores realizan el análisis Jacobiano de un manipulador paralelo de 6 GDL con cuatro extremidades mediante la teoría de tornillos.…”
