Inverse Structural Synthesis of Parallel Manipulators
Abstract
This work tries to address structural
synthesis procedures of parallel manipulators in a different point of view. In
generic methodology while structural synthesis starts from deciding the
structure of the platforms and computing the structure of the legs in terms of
specified constraints, proposed procedure follows an inverse analogy. After the
determination of desired number of legs and subspace constraints of the whole
manipulator, possible configurations of platform structures are extracted and
checked for their constructability. Throughout the study proposed procedure was
introduced in detail along with the constraint equations. Utilizing introduced
procedure for given examples, structural groups of parallel manipulators were
created with respect to the desired constraints and actuators were attached for
mobility considerations. All of the results were tabulated throughout the study
in order to form various kinds of parallel manipulators as parallel platform
manipulators, serial platform manipulators, and serial-parallel platform manipulators.
Due to approach methodology, the procedure is named as the inverse structural
synthesis.
