  • Abstract
    For free-floating manipulators, the workspace of a reference point is a function of the links´ geometry, the link masses, and the location of the mass centers. The question addressed is how to choose these parameters, namely, the link lengths, the link masses, and the geometric location of the mass centers such that the workspace is maximized. This question is studied for both free-floating planar open and closed chains in which all the joints are revolute
