Abstract

The forward displacement analysis of spherical parallel mechanisms is a nonlinear problem and has attracted the attention of many researchers. A method is proposed to analyze the forward displacement of a 3-RPR spherical parallel mechanism. Firstly, based on spherical geometry and spherical trigonometry theory, a mathematical model is derived for the forward displacement analysis of the spherical parallel mechanism. After simplifying the mathematical model, the kinematical equations are then solved using the resultant elimination method. Using this method, one can obtain the three variables representing the position and pose of the moving platform directly. Finally, a numerical example is presented and Autodesk Inventor software is used to verify all the real solutions. The method of mathematical modeling, equation simplification, resultant elimination presented in this paper can be extended to solve similar problems effectively.
