Development of a 6-DOF Fedundantly-Actuated 12-Legged Parallel Manipulator for Heavy-Load Applications
This paper presents the design and modeling of a new 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) 12-legged parallel manipulator (PM). A vector method is adopted to establish the kinematics model of the PM. The dynamics model is then developed using the principle of virtual work and the pseudo-inverse. Under equivalent conditions, the m...
