Popis: It is known that two primary disadvantages of parallel manipulators are the complicated forward kinematics and limited workspace. This paper mainly addressed the kinematics and workspace analyses of a 3/3-RRRS 6-DOF parallel manipulator. After a brief introduction of the 3/3 -RRRS 6-DOF parallel manipulator, a three-dimensional model and its relevant structure diagram are constituted, the forward and inverse displacement analyses of the 3/3-RRRS parallel manipulator are discussed in detail, especially, a novel geometrical method referred as equivalent mechanism is proposed for the forward displacement analysis of the manipulator under consideration. Based on the displacement analyses of the manipulator, a discretization method is proposed for the computation of the reachable position/orientation workspace of the 3/3-RRRS parallel manipulator, respectively. Examples of a 3/3-RRRS parallel manipulator are given to demonstrate these theoretical results.
