“…In recent years, tremendous work has been carried out on the design and development of 5-axis hybrid robots having A/C type wrist, the Tricept, the Exechon and the TriMule for example. The relevant work primarily focuses on type synthesis [4,17,18], kinetostatic analysis [19][20], kinematic optimization [21][22][23][24][25][26][27], and CNC controller development [28][29][30], etc. Unfortunately, little attention has been paid to non-singular tool path planning though singularity problem can be avoided, to some extent, by placing such a robot a tilt angle with respect to the workpiece frame at the cost of reducing the useful workspace envelop [23,31].…”
