Summary

This paper deals with a generic modeling and vision-based control approach for a broad class of parallel mechanisms. First, a generic architecture representing several families is proposed. Second, inspired by the geometry of lines, a generic differential inverse kinematic model according to the proposed generic structure is introduced. Finally, based on the image projection of cylindrical legs, a kinematic vision-based control using legs observation is presented. The approach is illustrated and validated on the Gough–Stewart and Par4 parallel robots.
