Abstract
Recently a complete kinematic description of the \(3\)-RPS parallel manipulator was obtained using algebraic constraint equations. It turned out that the workspace decomposes into two components describing two kinematically different operation modes and that self-motions of this manipulator in both operation are possible. In this paper for the first time it is shown that this manipulator has the property of non singular assembly mode change.
