Title
Maximal singularity-free orientation workspace over a position region of Gough–Stewart platform
Abstract
Maximizing the singularity-free workspace of parallel manipulators is highly desirable in a context of robot design. So far, no work has been found to address the maximal singularity-free orientation workspace over a position region. In practice, this type of workspace is interesting because a mechanism often works in a range of positions. This work focuses on the Gough-Stewart platform. An optimal position at which the mechanism holds the maximal singularity-free orientation workspace is determined. This optimal position lies on the line which is perpendicular to the base and passes the centroid of the base. Considering the symmetry, a parallelepiped with centre at the determined optimal position could be an interesting working position region for the Gough-Stewart platform. Two algorithms are presented to compute the maximal singularity-free orientation workspace over such an interesting position region. An example is provided for demonstration.
