DETERMINATION OF THE ANALYTICAL WORKSPACE BOUNDARIES OF A NOVEL 2-DOF PLANAR TENSEGRITY MECHANISM
2010
Transactions of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering
Tensegrity mechanisms are slowly emerging as potential alternatives to more conventional mechanisms for certain types of applications where a reduced inertia of the mobile parts and a high payload to weight ratio are sought. With this in mind, a two-degree-of-freedom planar tensegrity mechanism is developed using a simple actuation strategy to keep the mechanism in self-stressed configurations. Solutions to the mechanism's direct and inverse kinematic problems are first developed and are then
