Orientation Workspace Verification for Parallel Kinematic Machines with Constant Leg Length. Pott, A., Franitza, D., & Hiller, M. January, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
Compared to serial robots, parallel kinematic ma- chines (PKM) offer superior properties. However, modelling and analysis of PKMs are challenging tasks due to their complicated kinematic structure. In this paper we present methods to analyze the workspace of a class of 6 degree-of-freedom (dof) PKMs with constant leg length. These methods apply interval analysis in order to calculate the orientation workspace and to verify if a certain machine covers a desired workspace. The machines are assembled from a construction kit that defines components like legs, frames, and platforms.
