摘要
Stewart platform configurations (architectures and poses) optimizing local dexterity are investigated. The condition number of the Jacobian matrix is used to quantify the dexterity of the manipulator. For a platform-centered Jacobian reference location and a given characteristic length for scaling purposes, a two-parameter family of optimal configurations is shown to exist. Two suitable architectural parameters defining the family are identified and properties of the optimal configurations are discussed. The optimization results are shown to be easily extended for other Jacobian reference locations and for other singular value-based local dexterity measures. It is suggested that the existence of a two-parameter family of optimal local configurations could be exploited to aid in the resolution of optimal architectures for global measures.
