Kinematics and simulation of a novel 3-PRP parallel robot

Aiming at the problem of the difficulty to analyze the structure of traditional 3-DOF parallel robot,based on the analysis of structure and performance of the traditional parallel robot, a novel 3-PRP parallel robot is proposed. To effectively reduce the difficulty of the structure analysis, the linear modules are adopted to form two symmetrical moving pairs, with a rotation pair to take place of three rotation pairs of traditional 3-DOF parallel robot, and according to the structural characteristics of the new robot, the kinematic model is established. Then the forward and inverse kinematics solutions of robot are derived by space analytic geometry and vector algebra. At last, the correctness of the forward and inverse kinematics solutions are verified by MATLAB programming, and the workspace of the robot is established.The simulation results show that the robot has the characteristics of large workspace, high precision of kinematics model and low manufacturing cost, and has a wide range of industrial applications.
