Inverse Kinematics of a Spatial 5-DOF Hybrid Parallel-Parallel Robotic System with Two Planar Modules
摘要
In this paper, we discuss a novel two-module robotic system. One module is a planar 3-DOF 4-PRR parallel mechanism with actuation redundancy. The other module is a 2-DOF single-loop PRRRP parallel mechanism, featuring sliders that move along a circular guide instead of a linear one. The arrangement of these modules provides the end-effector of the second module with 5-DOF motion relative to the platform of the first module. We perform an inverse kinematics analysis of the system and derive a closed-form solution that allows us to calculate the active joint coordinates for a given position and orientation of the end-effector with respect to the platform. A numerical example is also provided. This study and its results serve as the foundation for future research on the kinematics, workspace, and dynamics of the proposed robot.
