- Hello everybody!!
-
- I am doing some work with looking at the possiblity of using a parallel
- actuated device with 3 DOF's (an automated camera tripod) as a robot
- for a manufacturing task. I am looking for high speed, low accuracy, and
- low cost. The problem that I am having is with determing the forward
- kinematics for such a device. The inverse kinematics is easy, but the
- forward is a bit tougher. If anybody can point me in the right direction
- I would appreciate it!! Also, if anybody has any thoughts about the use
- of a parallel device for such an application, please let me know. I
- believe that parallel devices have a number of interesting attributes to
- them that make them an attractive alternative to serial devices.
-
- Thanks for your comments,
