Inverse Kinematics Analysis of a 2-Dof Spherical Parallel Shift Manipulator

Shift manipulator requires the transmission shift lever end Chinese characters ‘Wang’ motion, this paper proposes a kind of 2-Dof asymmetric spherical parallel mechanism to realize the movement. The structure characteristic and the trajectory of the manipulator are described. The position inverse solution of the 2-Dof spherical parallel mechanism is obtained by inverse kinematics analysis. Inverse kinematics simulation of the parallel mechanism is proposed finally.
