Statics, Instantaneous Kinematics and Singularity Analysis of Planar Parallel Manipulators via Grassmann-Cayley Algebra

Abstract:

The wrench Jacobian matrix plays an important role in statics and singularity analysis of planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). It is easy to obtain this matrix based on plücker coordinate method. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to the analysis of the forward and inverse wrench Jacobian matrix used by Grassmann-Cayley algebra (GCA). A symbolic formula for the inverse statics and a coordinate free formula for the singularity analysis are obtained based on this Jacobian. As an example, this approach is implemented for the 3-RPR PPMs.
