Abstract

The present study shows the augmentation of the three Degrees of Freedom (DoF) translational R-CUBE into a six-DoF mechanism. To increase its number of DoF, each leg has their distal linkage modified to fully exploit the planar kinematics they rely on and one more active joint is added. In total, three angular DoF are added to the mechanism. Since they are several possible serial linkages for planar motion, several types of augmented R-CUBE can be assembled. A general form of the uniformized velocity model is given for this new mechanism. For each type of distal linkage, the inverse kinematic model is derived and differential kinematics is then used to complete the expression of the velocity model.
