Position Analysis of a Novel 3-5R Parallel Platform Mechanism Using Continuation Method

By adopting a continuation approach, the position analyses of a novel 3-5R parallel mechanism, which has three translation degrees of freedom, are conducted. Next, an equation system of the mechanism structure constraint and an initial equation system are established. Next, a versatile software for solving polynomial equation system is compiled. As giving one displacement, all inverse kinematics are obtained from this software
