This paper propose the method to obtain the inverse kinematics and the Jacobian of the 5-bar parallel robot and apply the nonlinear controller to the 5-bar parallel robot with the dynamic analyses using the Jacobian of the Passive joints with respect to the active ones and singular value decomposition(SVD). It also experimentally shows that we can do high-speed and accuracy tasks using nonlinear control method. And it explains the relation between the property of the position control and manipulability using a new performance index.

A haptic hand controller (HHC) operated by the user’s hand can receive information on position and orientation of the hand and display force and moment generated in the virtual environment to the hand. In this paper, a 3-DOF hand controller is first presented, in which all the actuators are mounted on the fixed base by combining a 5-bar linkage and a gimbal mechanism. The 6-DOF HHC is then designed by connecting these two 3-DOF devices through a handle which consists of a screw and nut. Analysis using performance index is carried out to determine the dimensions of the device. The HHC control system consists of the high-level controller for kinematic and static analysis and the low-level controller for position sensing and motor control. The HHC used as a user interface to control the mobile robot in the virtual environment is given as a simple application.
