mechanisms have many advantages compared to serial manipulators in terms of payload,accuracy,and stiffness.It is well known that parallel mani-pulators have a higher payload to-weight ratio,higher accuracy,and higher structural rigidity than serial manipulators(Ben-Horin et al.,1998).Recently some machine-tools(Kim el al.,2001:Wang et al.,2001)have been developed utilizing these advantages.A manipulator tbr fine motion(Ryu et al.,1997)also adopted the parallel mec-hanism rather than the serial one,since the par-allel mechanism can be manufactured monolithic-ally.*E-mail:kbchoi kimmre.kr

Received May 22,2002;Revised De-cember 13,2002)Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.Among the parallel manipulators,the planar parallel manipulator is a manipulator for plane motion.Planar parallel manipulators have two degree-of-freedom(DOF)motion;that is two translations,or 3-DOF motion,consisting of two translations and one rotation.It is well known that(23-1)variations of 3-DOF planar parallel manipulators exist,which are RRR,RRP,RPR,RPP,PRR,PRP,and PPR,depending on the combinations of prismatic joints and rotational joints,excluding a PPP combination,where the prismatic and rotational joints are represented by P and R(Merlet,1996 and 2000).The solutions of the direct kinematics lbr possible architectures of the planar parallel manipulators were also already proposed(Merlet,1996),but more con-crete solutions and kinematic analyses of the architectures are stil!required.Most 3-DOF planar parallel manipulators have disadvantages that the manipulators have polynomial types of complex direct kinematics and small workspaces with useless voids as well as concave types of borderlines.As the order of Kinematic Analysis and Optimal Design of 3-PPR Planar Parallel Manipulator 529 the polynomials of the direct kinematics increase,solving equations as well as choosing a proper solution becomes a great burden.Moreover the concave types of borderlines induce non-straight motions from a neighbor of the borderline to the others.Therefore it is important that a parallel manipulator has a closed type direct kinematics and a void-tYee workspace with a convex type borderline.In this paper,a 3-PPR planar parallel mani-pulator,in which P is an active prismatic joint,is proposed to overcome the aforementioned dis-advantages,i.e.,the proposed manipulator has a closed type direct kinematics and a void free workspace with a convex type of borderline.For the kinematic analysis of this manipulator,first the direct kinematics,inverse kinematics,and inverse Jacobian of the proposed manipulator are derived.Second,rotational limits and workspaces are investigated.Also,for the optimal design of this manipulator,performance indices of the mani-pulator are investigated and then an optimal design procedure is carried out using Min-Max theory.Finally,one example using the optimal design is presented.2.Description of 3-PPR Planar Parallel Manipulator Figure I shows the schematic configuration of a 3-PPR planar parallel manipulator that consists of three active prismatic joints,three passive prismatic joints,three passive rotational joints,a moving plate,and links.The active joints can be actuated by electric rotational motors and ball screws for motion transformation.The three links for motion of the active joints are fixed to a base frame with two ends of each link.The degree of freedom(DOF)of the planar manipulator,m,is represented by(Merlet,2000)?z m=3(l-n-1)+di(1)i=1 where l is the number of rigid bodies,n is the number of joints,and dl is DOF of joint i.Since this manipulator has eight rigid bodies Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.Fig.1 A:tlve prisrtic joirt Schematic configuration of 3 PPR planar manipulator including the base,and nine joints with a total of nine DOF,its DOF is three;i.e.,two translations and one rotation on the plane.In addition,when the active joints of the manipulator are locked,the DOF of the manipulator becomes zero be-cause the nine joints have only six DOF.There-fore this manipulator has three DOF when the active joints are activated,whereas it becomes a static structure when the active joints are locked.3.Direct Kinematics The coordinates and the geometric parameters of this manipulator are shown in Fig.2.The moving plate is a circle,which contains an equi-lateral triangle,with a radius r.The centers of the rotational joints are on the vertices of the triangle.The active prismatic joints can travel on the sides of the outer equilateral triangle which contains a circle with radius R.When the coordinate of each active joint Ai is(xi,yi),where i=1,2,and 3,the moving plate has the pose of translation(x,y)and rotation from the reference point O.Then each length of the passive link becomes Li.Because the inner and outer triangles are equi-lateral,the angle of the triangles,00,is 00=zc/3(2)530 Kee Bong Choi A:,(x/777 1 ol Aj(r I,)Fig.2

Cl=cos(a+00)(y3-y)-sin(a+00)(x3-x)+cos(a-00)(y2-yl)-sin(a-00)(x2-xx)C2=e sin a+sin(a_Oo)(13)C3=-e cos a+cos(a-00)Equation(12)can be solved introducing a para-meter T as follows:1-T z cos 9=I+T 2T sin 9=l+T 2 Substituting Eq.(14)into Eq.(14)order polynomial in T is obtained as(C1-C2)Tz+2C3T+(CI+C2)=0(15)Equation(15)offers the closed form solutions of T C3+C+2 2-C2-Cz(16)T-C1-C2 From Eqs.(4)and(14),the rotation of the mov-ing plate is 2T x(17)=tan-1(I-T z)3 Thus,the translation of the moving plate is x=xl+LI cos a-r sin (18)y=-R+Lxsin a+r cos It is remarkable that this manipulator has at most two solutions for direct kinematics according to Eq.(16),and moreover the closed form solutions of Eqs.(17)and(18).(12),a second Kinematic Analysis and Optimal Design of 3-P_PR Planar Parallel Manipulator 531 4.Inverse Kinematics and Inverse Jacobian Figure 3 shows a coordinate system for des-cribing the inverse kinematics of a 3-PPR planar parallel manipulator.When the center of the moving plate moves from origin O to O with translation(x,y)and rotation b,the vertex of the plate B is expressed as xBi=x+r sin(&+b)(19)ysi=y+r COS(0g+b)where 2(i-1)0,-r(20)3 and i=1,2,3.The origin of the active prismatic joint Oi is departed by R from the origin O.Provided that ui and vi are the unit vectors of the axes e,and,which are the axes of the active prismatic joint,the coordinate of the vertex B,expressed by the terms of,and i,is eBi=OBi ui(21)gi=R+OBivi Thus the position of the active prismatic joint,a,is Y B,(,L 0 R v o,Fig.3 Coordinate system for inverse kinematics=Bi-,cot a(22)Direct differentiation of Eq.(22)with respect to the pose(x,y,b)derives the inverse Jacobian j-i as follows:I 1-c0ta rt,cos4-cotasm4)j4=.5-(-1%3 c0ta)2(;3+c0tal r(c0s-c0tasin)(23)I-(l+,c0ta)g:-3+c0ta;r(c0s&c0tasin)The elements of the inverse Jacobian of Eq.(23)do not have the same dimension.First two co-lumns corresponding to translation are dimen-sionless,whereas the last column corresponding to rotation has the dimension of length.By mak-ing the third column dimensionless,a homogen-eous inverse Jacobian with non-dimensional ele-ments is obtained by(Byun,1997)la 1 J=J 0 1(24)o o I/R 5.Rotational Limit and Workspace The rotation of the moving plate is restricted by the interference between the links and the rotational joints.Fig.4 shows the configuration of this manipulator with rotational limits of the clockwise case(a)and counter clockwise case(b).Assuming the width of the links is negligible,the rotation b is bounded by _ 4

planar parallel manipulator is bounded by+-57c/6 from the initial rotation.Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.532 Kee-Bong Choi(a)Clockwise directional rotation limit(b)Counter clockwise directional rotation limit Fig.4 Rotational limit Provided that each active joint can move along the side of the equilateral triangle with a per-pendicular distance R fiom the center of the triangle to the active joint,as shown in Fig.2,and the moving range of the active joints is 24-R.Then,the center of the moving plate can reach a positional space within only some rotations in the rotational range(271,or can reach a fully rota-table positional space in the rotational range(27).The lbrmer is referred to as a reachable workspace and the latter is a dexterous work-space.Fig.5 shows the reachable workspaces and the dexterous workspaces when r/R is 0.3,0.5,0.7,and a is r/2.The dexterous workspaces Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.25.I 115 41-L 2 25-L5-2-I.5 41.5 tl 0 5 1.5 2 2 5 x:R Fig.5 Workspaces at

workspace decreases.Also,it is shown that the workspaces do not contain any voids,and moreover they have con-vex types of borderlines.6.Local Performance Indices Using Inverse Jacobian The inverse Jacobian provides inlbrmation on tile quality of the kinematical structure of a par-allel manipulator.In this paper,manipulability,resistivity,and isotropy by using the inverse Jaco-bian are considered as performance indices of this parallel manipulator.Manipulability,which is the distance from a singularity(Nakamura,1991),evaluates the kine-matic quality like the articular speed(Yoshi-kawa,1990)of a manipulator.That is,the farther the configuration of the manipulator is from the singularity,the faster the manipulator moves.Smaller manipulability indicates that there is a singularity near the configuration of the mani-pulator.Thus,it is better to have maximal mani-pulability.The manipulability of a parallel manipulator,win,is defined by Wm=/det(JiJh)(29)In the non-redundant case,the manipulability Wm reduces to w,=det(J1)I(30)Kinematic Anal.vsis and Optimal Design of 3-PPR Planar Parallel Manipulator 533 The determinant of the homogeneous inverse Jacobian is det(jl)_33 r 2 R(cosqJ-cotasinCJ)(l+cotZa)(31)From Eq.(31),the determinant of the homo-geneous inverse Jacobian is shown to be inde-pendent of the position of the moving plate,but only dependant on b and a.In addition,the determinant becomes zero at qS=a,that is=-Fzr/2.The 3-PPR planar parallel manipulator 11 has a singular configt,ration at=-+-zr/2.Resistivity Wr evaluates the articular tbrce and is defined by the inverse of the manipulability as-lbllows(Byun,1997):1(32)Wr=I det(J)The resistivity is correspondent to the force tran-smission ratio,which is the actuator capacity lbr a unit operational load(Lee at al.,2001).In the view of robustness of a mechanism,large resi-stivity is preferred.However,the resistivity in-creases abruptly at the neighborhood of a singular configuration,and the mechanism has a signifi-cant risk of breakdown at such a configuration.Therelbre the design of the mechanism must be considered in terms of a compromise between,v manipulability and resistivity.lsotropy corresponding to the inverse of the condition number is defined by the ratio of the minimum singular value to the maximum one of the inverse Jacobian(Nakamura,1991),and is defined as follows(Liu at al.,2000):1(33)II Jh II II J;II 0J I I when n:,u,where II Jh II=tr(JhNJ r)and N=n-is the dimension of the inverse Jacobian.Mani-0 pulability is related to the magnitude of the mani-0 pulability ellipsoid,whereas the condition hum-i ber concerns the shape of the ellipsoid(Naka-mura,1991).lsotropy evaluates workspace quali-ty and prefers a sphere-like shape,i.e.,unity.Fig.6 shows the simulation results of local performance indices(manipulability,resistivity,Fig.6 and isotropy)with respect to o,and at r/g=Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.0.5.In

range-;,r/2!/r n/2.This means that,in the view of manipulability,the manipulator prefers configurations far from=_zc/2.Conversely,resistivity is infinite at lk-_+,n/2,and abruptly decreases as it is far from,n/2.Also,it has maximal values at a=n/2 and decreases as a is far from n/2.lsotropy depending on only rather than a is zero at=_n/2,increases as Ik is far from+/2,and is maximal at=0 in the range-n/2 zr/2.7.Optimal Design From the analyses of the above indices,tile range of rotation k is agreeable to be-a/2,n/2,even though the rotational limit is ex-pressed by the range of Eq.(27),because the singularity is at _+n/2.In this study,the range of k is limited by 17 17-3 n 36,n(35)for realistic implementation.Therefore the rota-tion range lbr the dexterous workspace is also modified by the range of Eq.(35).The perlbrm-ance indices on the workspace are chosen as the dexterous workspace within the rotation range of Eq.(35)and the difference in the size of the reachable workspace and the dexterous work-space along a and r/t?.Figure 7 shows the size of the reachable work-space,the size of the dexterous workspace and the difference in the size of the two workspaces with respect to a and r/l?based on a constraint as follows:0.1-_1.0(361)The size of the reachable workspace decreases as a keeps away from n/2 and increases slowly as r/l?increases.The size of the dexterous work-space decreases,as a is far from n/2 and r/l?increases The difference in the size of the two workspaces decreases as t is far from 7r/2,and increases as r/l?increases.In this study,a large size of the dexterous workspace and a small difference in the size of two workspaces are preferred.Copyright(C)2003 NuriMedia Co.,Ltd.A global performance index using an inverse Jacobian is expressed by an average local per-tbrmance index on the total pose in the work-space.In this study,since the inverse Jacobian of this manipulator is not the function of translation but the function of rotation,the global perform-ance index can be expressed by the average value on the range of Eq.(35).Fig.8 shows the global!g 8(a)Reachable workspace.:!i i i(b)Dexterous workspace.12,10,o 8 o

nor-malized by w-mi n(wj)u.b-(37)max(w)-min(w/)where the subscript j is D,M,R,and I,and max(wj)-w(38)max(wj)-min(wj)where the subscript j is S.When the performance indices are weighted,the normalized performance indices are modified by zj-=1+g)(uj-1)(39)where j is the weighted performance index and g is weight of the index with O_g_ 1(40)In the given constraint space,a composite global performance index,We,can be found by the mini-mum set of the weighted performance indices as follows Wc=wDAwsA WMA WRA tVl(41)where A means the fuzzy intersection.Then,the optimal design parameters are
