Abstract

Parallel robots with a configurable platform are a class of parallel robots in which the end-effector is a closed-loop kinematic chain. In n-RRR planar robots the end-effector is a n-bar chain controlled by 'n' actuated RRR chains connected to the base. We solve the direct kinematic problem for 4, 5 and 6-RRR mechanisms by using bilateration, a method that easily lends itself to generalization. Finally, we present the results from experimental tests that have been performed on a 5-RRR prototype.
