Abstract

As a sequel to the previous paper, based on the algorithmic rules of position and orientation characteristic (POC), this paper studied the principle, algorithm of computer-aided mobility analysis of parallel mechanisms (PMs), and further developed an automatic analysis platform for mobility of PMs. With this platform, users only need to enter decimal data of topological structures representation of PMs, and the number of degree of freedom(DOF) and its properties will also be analyzed and displayed automatically. Typical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the software.
