Abstract
In this paper a 3R orthogonal metamorphic manipulator with two pseudo-joints is investigated concerning its cuspidal anatomies. The classification of the anatomies derived by the metamorphic serial structure is achieved by solving the system of polynomials with an eliminating technique based on Groebner Basis. The metamorphic parameters space is divided into domains, according to the number of cusps. Singularity curves as well as the projection of the work-space are shown and discussed for an anatomy of each domain.
