| contents | This study presents a systematic enumeration of spherical ($SO(3)$) type parallel robots' variants using an analytical velocity-level approach. These robots are known for their ability to perform arbitrary rotations around a fixed point, making them suitable for numerous applications. Despite their architectural diversity, existing research has predominantly approached them on a case-by-case basis. This approach hinders the exploration of all possible variants, thereby limiting the benefits derived from architectural diversity. By employing a generalized analytical approach through the reciprocal screw method, we systematically explore all the kinematic conditions for limbs yielding $SO(3)$ motion.Consequently, all 73 possible types of non-redundant limbs suitable for generating the target $SO(3)$ motion are identified. The approach involves performing an in-depth algebraic motion-constraint analysis and identifying common characteristics among different variants. This leads us to systematically explore all 73 symmetric and 5256 asymmetric variants, which in turn become a total of 5329, each potentially having different workspace capability, stiffness performance, and dynamics. Hence, having all these variants can facilitate the innovation of novel spherical robots and help us easily find the best and optimal ones for our specific applications. |
