Abstract

This paper discusses the notion of operationmode in parallelmanipulators with less than six dof. This notion has been reported recently in several papers but the physical meaning of an operation mode is not always clear. Indeed, even if in some cases an operation mode can be associated with an understandable motion type e.g., three pure translations or a spherical motion, in some other cases, such an association is not straightforward. Therefore, the axodes are used in this paper to characterize any operation mode of lower-mobility parallel manipulators. A 3-RPS manipulator is used as an illustrative example. This manipulator is special because one can parameterize its operation modes.
