General solution for the dynamic modeling of parallel robots

Abstract

In this paper, we present a general method to calculate the inverse dynamic models of parallel robots. The model is expressed in terms of one equation, which is a function of the dynamic models of the legs, the dynamics of the platform and three Jacobian matrices. The method is applied on four robots with different degrees of freedom and different structures. Consequently, the computational complexity of the obtained models can be reduced by making use of the techniques.
