Abstract

Matrix relations for kinematics analysis of a spatial two-module hybrid parallel mechanism are established in this paper. Knowing the relative motions of the moving platforms, the inverse kinematics problem is solved based on a set of connectivity relations. Finally, compact results and graphs of simulation for the input relative displacements, velocities and accelerations are obtained.
