In this paper a parallel manipulator with tripod architecture is proposed with the closed-form formulation of its functioning. The mechanism is 3-Degrees-of-Freedom manipulator that can be used as robotic leg for mobile walking robots with two or more legs. The kinematic design is characterized by direct linear drives in the links of the tripod architecture and by a mechanism providing a spherical motion to the foot end-effector.

Abstract

In this paper a parallel manipulator with tripod architecture is proposed with the closed-form formulation of its functioning. The mechanism is 3-Degrees-of-Freedom manipulator that can be used as robotic leg for mobile walking robots with two or more legs. The kinematic design is characterized by direct linear drives in the links of the tripod architecture and by a mechanism providing a spherical motion to the foot end-effector.
