Popis: Kinematic redundancy can be utilised to increase the reliability of operations performed by manipulators as presented in this paper. Fault tolerance is defined as the ability to continue the performance of a task after total failure or partial immobilisation of a manipulator joint. Fault tolerant work space is defined as a sub-work-space volume where a fault tolerant redundant manipulator can continue its work even under the failure of one or more of its joints. Design examples are presented for planar positional manipulators showing that fault tolerant work spaces of desired shape and dimensions can be attained by the proper design of redundant manipulators.
