Abstract

This work presents a necessary and sufficient condition to define a singularity-invariant leg rearrangement, based on an affine relation between the squared leg lengths before and after the rearrangement. This condition is then specified for four rigid components that can occur in Stewart-Gough platforms, leading to the characterization of singularity-invariant leg rearrangements on all of them.
