Experiments with a parallel robot with singularity-perturbed design

An experimental system comprising a parallel-link manipulator based on a newly proposed singularity-perturbed design of the planar five-bar linkage is described. Experiments are carried out for end-point path tracking control along a path passing through both an undermobility and an overmobility type singularity and the experimental data analysis is presented.
