Analytical Solution of the Forward Displacement Problem for Spherical Parallel Manipulators

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, an analytical method that solves the forward displacement problem of several common spherical parallel manipulators (SPMs) is presented. The method uses the the quaternion algebra to restate the problem as a system of four quadrics in four variables and uses an algebraic geometry result by Dixon from 1908 to solve. In addition, a case study is presented for a specific SPM.
