      Article
      Accés obert
      The identification of the relative position of two real coplanar ellipses can be reduced to the identification of the nature of the singular conics in the pencil they define and, in general, their location with respect to ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      It is well known that the singularities of a Gough-Stewart platform arise when the determinant of the Plücker coordinates of the robot leg lines vanish. The direct expansion of this determinant in terms of the configuration ...

      This paper presents a first attempt at a unified kinematics analysis of all serial and parallel solvable robots, that is, robots whose position analysis can be carried out without relying on numerical methods. The efforts ...
    • On the primal and dual forms of the Stewart platform pure condition 

      Borràs Sol, Júlia; Thomas, Federico (2012)
      Article
      Accés obert
      The algebraic characterization of the singularities of a Stewart platform is usually presented as a 6 × 6 determinant, whose rows correspond to the line coordinates of its legs, equated to zero. This expression can be ...

      Thomas, Federico; Torras, Carme; Borràs Sol, Júlia (2009)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Anyset of two legs in a Gough–Stewart platform sharing an attachment is defined as a Δcomponent. This component links a point in the platform (base) to a line in the base (platform). Thus, if the two legs, which are involved ...

      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      A 6-DOF 4-4 parallel manipulator is presented. Its forward kinematics can be solved by a sequence of three trilaterations and, as a consequence, its singularities can be described in geometric terms as the degeneration of ...
