Abstract
This paper presents and investigates a new three-rotation (3R) parallel compliant mechanism that uses compliant rods to achieve three rotations. The mechanism is designed for use in pointing devices or as a spatial parallel manipulator. The mobility analysis is based on the Cosserat rod model and Lagrangian dynamics equations. The dynamics equations are then effectively solved using the back-propagation neural network and chaos-enhanced accelerated particle swarm optimization. After studying the mobility of the moving platform, a simplified model is proposed and used for kinematic analysis. The analysis of motion includes discussions on forward kinematics, inverse kinematics, singularities, and the workspace. Furthermore, experiments with a prototype are conducted to verify the accuracy and stability of the mobility analysis and the simplified model.
