Abstract
The 3-RRR Spherical Parallel Mechanism is an architecture that generates a Remote Center of Motion. The present work proposes to study the mechanism behavior by modifying its base configuration. A new mechanical architecture concept is introduced to modify the mechanism base configuration. This reconfiguration is then described by a new design parameter that issues a new kinematic model. The influence of this parameter is studied on two different aspects: the mechanism workspace and kinematic performances. Several observations are finally made on the mechanism new behavior.
