Abstract
Recursive modelling for the kinematics and dynamics of the known 3- PRR planar parallel robot is established in this paper. Three identical planar legs connecting to the moving platform are located in a vertical plane. Knowing the motion of the platform, we develop first the inverse kinematics and determine the positions, velocities and accelerations of the robot. Further, the principle of virtual work is used in the inverse dynamics problem. Several matrix equations offer iterative expressions and graphs for the power requirement comparison of each of three actuators in two different actuation schemes: prismatic actuators and revolute actuators. For the same evolution of the moving platform in the vertical plane, the power distribution upon the three actuators depends on the actuating configuration, but the total power absorbed by the set of three actuators is the same, at any instant, for both driving systems. The study of the dynamics of the parallel mechanisms is done mainly to solve successfully the control of the motion of such robotic systems.
