Kinematic and Kinetic Analysis of 3-RRS Parallel Manipulator

This paper presents the Kinematic and Kinetic properties of the 3-RRS parallel manipulator that has been designed and prototyped at the ARAS Lab, together with an extensive experimental setup. Inverse and forward kinematics of the mechanism are studied, which leads to the attainment of eight possible solutions in each case, of which just one is physically acceptable and maintains its consistency in both analyses. In addition, the Jacobian matrix of the manipulator is derived for various operational scenarios. In this most recent update, a linear actuator under the moving platform is added to cancel the effect of the mass of the plate and the ball for enhancing the responsiveness of the system. Dynamic and kinetic equations are updated based on reduced gravitational effects.
