Abstract

A 4-wire driven 3-d.o.f. planar haptic device, called the Feriba-3, is described. The particular geometric configuration of the end-effector ensures a closed form kinematic pose solution and good manipulability. Moreover, the structural arrangement adopted makes the Feriba-3 a well-performing haptic device, whose major features are low inertia, low friction, and full dexterity in a large workspace. The manipulability analysis has been performed by introducing a complete set of manipulability indices.
