Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, a novel spatial six-degree-of freedom parallel manipulator actuated by three
base-mounted partial spherical actuators is studied. This new parallel manipulator consists of a base
platform and a moving platform, which are connected by three legs. Each leg of the manipulator is
composed of a spherical joint, prismatic joint and universal joint. The base-mounted partial spherical
actuators can only specify the direction of their corresponding legs. In other words, the spin of each leg is
a passive degree-of-freedom. The inverse pose and forward pose of the new mechanism are described. In
the inverse pose kinematics, active joint variables are calculated with no need for evaluation of the passive
joint variables. To solve the forward pose problem, a much simpler method compared to the traditional
method is introduced. Closed form relations for the inverse and forward rate kinematics are proposed.
Finally, two sets of singular con guration of the newly introduced manipulator with di erent natures are
obtained.
