Abstract
A special type of parallel platform manipulator, proposed by Griffis and Duffy (1993), is investigated. It is shown that a large class among the proposed platform types is architecture singular and admits self motions from every point of its workspace. Using a kinematic image space we compute image curves which correspond to the self motions and discuss several special cases
