Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Problems arising in the operation of parallel mechanisms close to singularities of the first kind are investigated. An approach permitting the identification of their effective workspaces (in terms of the velocity) is proposed. This approach is experimentally tested by means of a model of a five-bar robot.
