摘      要：A redundantly actuated parallel manipulator(RAPM)with mixed translational and rotational degrees of freedom(DOFs)is challenged for its dimensionally homogeneous Jacobian modeling and optimal design of architecture.In this paper,a means to achieve redundant actuation by adding kinematic constraints is introduced,which reduces the DOFs of the end-effector(EE).A generic dimensionally homogeneous Jacobian is developed for this type of RAPMs,which maps the generalized velocities of three points on the EE to the joint velocities.A new optimization algorithm derived from this dimension-ally homogeneous Jacobian is proposed for the optimal design of this type of RAPMs.As an example,this paper presents a spatial RAPM involving linkages and cam mechanisms.This RAPM has 4 DOFs and 6 translational actuations.The linkage lengths and the position of the universal joints of the RAPM are optimized based on the dimensionally homogeneous Jacobian.
