Abstract

This paper presents a novel pose description corresponding to the structure characteristics of parallel manipulators which is convenient and intuitionistic to us. A class of 3-RSR parallel manipulator is considered here. Through analysis on geometry, we obtain a new method of the closed-form solution to the forward kinematics via Mathematica. The closed-form solution contains two different meanings - analytical and real-time. A numerical example is also presented and the results are verified by an inverse kinematics analysis. It shows that the method has a practical value for real-time control.
