The best way <strong>of</strong> visualizing the discrepancies between two solutions is to plot the<br />

graphs <strong>of</strong> corresponding data. However for the parallel manipulator, there are six input<br />

variables <strong>and</strong> six output variables, for which there isn’t a convenient way to show all data in a<br />

single graph. For this reason the orientation <strong>and</strong> location <strong>of</strong> the platform center are plotted on<br />

separate sheets. Also for the cases where two or more actuators are used simultaneously, the<br />

values <strong>of</strong> those are set equal (i.e. linear speeds <strong>of</strong> pistons are the same where as the angular<br />

velocities <strong>of</strong> the motors are the same). Finally for comparison <strong>of</strong> the results, the main criterion<br />

used is the distance <strong>of</strong> the platform centroid from the origin.<br />

4.2.1 Results for the Actuation <strong>of</strong> the First Rotary Actuator<br />

The first rotary actuator corresponds to Input( α ) in figure 4.1. Figures 4.3, 4.4 <strong>and</strong><br />

4.5 shows the graphs <strong>of</strong> the results. For figure 4.3, Eavg = 1.35, %Eavg = 0.83. The maximum<br />

error occurs at near singularity configuration,<br />
