Kinematic Analysis and Optimization of a New Three Degree-of-Freedom Spatial Parallel Manipulator
TL;DR: In this article, the kinematic characteristics of a three degree-of-freedom (dof) parallel mechanism are studied. Butler et al. present an architecture of the mechanism consisting of a mobile platform attached to a base through three identical prismatic-revolute-spherical jointed serial linkages.
Journal ArticleDOI
The integration of Six Sigma and lean management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new lean Six Sigma (LSS) approach and provided a detailed description of its phases, and also presented the views on the integration benefits as well as on how Six Sigma compares to lean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formulating Jacobian matrices for the dexterity analysis of parallel manipulators
Geoffrey Pond,Juan A. Carretero +1 more
TL;DR: The condition number of the Jacobian matrix has been commonly used in determining the dexterous regions of a manipulator workspace as discussed by the authors, however, for manipulators having a mix of both rotational and translational degrees of freedom, the condition number may not be used due to dimensional inconsistencies with its elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
3-PRRR redundant planar parallel manipulator: Inverse displacement, workspace and singularity analyses
TL;DR: In this paper, a kinematically redundant planar parallel manipulator is presented and the inverse displacement problem is examined, and the workspace of the proposed manipulator compared to that of a similar-sized non-redundant one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative dexterous workspace comparison of parallel manipulators
Geoffrey Pond,Juan A. Carretero +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the dexterity of spatial complex degree of freedom parallel manipulators is quantitatively compared for the first time using a novel method for the formulation of Jacobian matrices, and a consistent choice of independent end effector velocities.
