Kinematics of Tau configuration This chapter gives the nominal no error kinematics of the TAU robot. It is a general solution for this type of 3-DOF parallel-serial robots. For the two-arm test platform a simple kinematic solution can be obtained based on its double SCARA configuration and it is not included in this chapter. The two-arm test platform kinematics was used in friction model identification and kinematic error calibration of the two-arm test platform. It will be introduced as needed in the related chapters. To solve the kinematics of this 3-DOF TAU robot three independent equations are needed. The three lower arm links connected between the moving plate and upper arm 1 are designed to be parallel to each other and have the same length. Similarly the two lower arms of upper arm 2 are also parallel and equal in length which gives another length equation. The third equation comes from the lower arm 3. Formulating these three equations all starts from point P in Figure where three kinematic chains meet.
