Husty\n\n University of Innsbruck\, \n\n Austria\n\n  \n \n \n Abstract: A planar parallel 3-RPR parallel manipulator consists of thr ee anchor points (A\;B\;C) in a base connected via three extensible legs ( r1\; r2\; r3) to a triangular platform (D\;E\; F). In the direct kinematic s (DK) one has to compute the pose of the platform when the design of the manipulator (location of the base points and the shape of the moving platf orm) and the lengths of the legs are given. It is well known that this tas k allows six solutions. When some of the solutions of the DK coincide the manipulator becomes singular. In the presentation\, it will be shown that multiple solutions of the direct kinematics are a new way of looking into the notions of 'shakiness' of mechanisms or 'flexibility' of pin jointed f rameworks of rigid bars. For the first time general conditions for maximal (= 6) coinciding solutions will be given. It will be discussed that multi ple solutions of the DK are far beyond the classical singularity theory of a manipulator. They belong to so called constraint singularities which de scribe special situations in the configuration space of the manipulator.\n \n The discussion is done within the framework of algebraic geometry and po lynomial equations\, because multiple solutions are closed sets. We have t herefore also to explain the advantages and limitations of this approach. \n\n  \n \n\n Bio:\n\n Prof. Dr. Dr.(hc) Manfred Husty is Emeritus Professor f rom University of Innsbruck\, Austria. His research\n milestones in kinemat ic geometry are a) closed form solution to the direct kinematics of a gene ral six\n legged Stewart-Gough parallel manipulator which was until 1994 th e most challenging unsolved problem in\n robotic kinematics and b) closed f orm solution of inverse kinematics of a general 6R serial robot using\n kin ematic mapping in 2005 which greatly simplifies and accelerates computatio n. This makes it more effective\n as a real time procedure than earlier res ults modelled in Euclidean space.\n\n  \n\n DTSTART:20230525T200000Z DTEND:20230525T210000Z LOCATION:Zames Seminar Room\, MC 437\, McConnell Engineering Building\, CA\ , QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0E9\, 3480 rue University SUMMARY:Multiple Solutions of Direct Kinematics of 3-RPR Parallel Manipulat ors URL:/cim/channels/event/multiple-solutions-direct-kine matics-3-rpr-parallel-manipulators-351720 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
