Workspace Topologies of Industrial 3R Manipulators

A mathematical analysis is used to characterize workspace topologies of industrial 3R manipulators. A level-set reconstruction of the workspace is formulated to identify characteristic points with fairly simple algebraic expressions. Thus, industrial 3R manipulators are classified as functions of wo...
