Abstract

A spatial 2-RPU&SPR parallel manipulator (PM) with three degrees of freedom (DOF) is proposed in this paper. The architecture of the manipulator is comprised of a moving platform attached to a base through two revolute-prismatic-universal jointed serial linkages and one spherical-prismatic-revolute jointed serial linkage. The prismatic motions of the prismatic joints are considered to be actively actuated. The moving platform of the manipulator has one-translational and two rotational (1T2R) DOFs with respect to the fixed base. The kinematics including forward and inverse position analysis is analyzed. At last, the simulations of position and velocity of the manipulator are made to validate the algorithm.
