Abstract
A pentapod is usually defined as a 5-degrees-of-freedom fully-parallel manipulator with
an axial spindle as moving platform. This kind of manipulators has revealed as an
interesting alternative to serial robots handling axisymmetric tools. Their particular
geometry permits that, in one tool axis, high inclination angles could be attained, thus
overcoming the orientation limits of the classical Stewart-Gough platform. This paper
deals with pentapods with coplanar base attachments.
In previous works changes in the location of the leg attachments that do not modify
the singularity locus of the pentapod were studied. Such leg rearrangements reveal here
as a powerful tool to shed light on the geometric structure of the singularity locus and,
in particular, on architectural singularities.
Indeed, a complete analysis of such singularities is carried out, providing both algebraic
conditions, which complete previous results found in literature, and a geometrical
interpretation that permits defining a measure of distance to architectural singularities.
Such measure can be used as a index in the design process to obtain manipulators as far
as possible from architectural singularities, leading to a better global behavior.
