... and flexible actuated joints. The different polynomial laws have been obtained and validated for each examined case. The present study considers the conditions for passing through Type 2 singular configurations for the parallel manipulators with flexible links. By computing the inverse dynamic model...

...Nicolás Rojas; Federico Thomas The exact position analysis of a planar mechanism reduces to compute the roots of its characteristic polynomial. Obtaining this polynomial almost invariably involves, as a first step, obtaining a system of equations derived from the independent kinematic loops...

...Xianwen Kong; Clément Gosselin; James M. Ritchie A quadratic parallel manipulator refers to a parallel manipulator with a quadratic characteristic polynomial. This paper revisits the forward displacement analysis (FDA) of a linearly actuated quadratic spherical parallel manipulator. An alternative...

... architecture, with double basally actuated legs so as to minimize moving mass, the univariate polynomial solution turns out to be simplest, i.e., of degree 2. By appropriate choice of the coordinate system in EE one can assume that the two EE attachment points P 1 and P 2 are given...
