Abstract:
One of the major issues concerning parallel kinematic structures is singularity handling. As a result the mathematical treatment of kinematic singularities has been extensively studied [1]. Particularly for the practical application of parallel kinematic machines a save determination of singular configurations is necessary. The proposed method is developed for an implementation into a robot control to assure a safe and singularity free motion.
