摘要
This paper presents a generalized approach to the singularity analysis of mechanisms with arbitrary kinematic chains and an equal number of inputs and outputs. The instantaneous kinematics of a mechanism is described by means of a velocity equation, explicitly including not only the input and output velocities but also the passive-joint velocities. A precise definition of singularity of a general mechanism is provided. On the basis of the six types of singular configurations and the motion space interpretation of kinematic singularity introduced in the paper, a comprehensive singularity classification is proposed.
