Abstract

Parallel robots presents singular configurations that divide the operational workspace into several aspects. It was proven that such singularities can be crossed under the constraint of a dynamic criterion. However, the practical implementation of a robust controller able to track such trajectories is, up to now, limited to a more restrictive criterion. By solving the inverse dynamic model in the singularity for the general case, we implemented a controller in Cartesian space able to track a trajectory crossing a Type 2 singularity.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Even if the case rarely appears on existing parallel robots, the results can be extended to a higher order degeneracy.

  2. 2.

    We consider that \(\mathbf {B}\) is full rank. This hypothesis is taken as the case of the coincidence of two singularities is extremely rare and generally avoided in the design of a parallel robot. Note that the computation of \(\mathbf {B}^{-T}\) is not necessary in the inverse dynamic model away from a type 2 singularity.
