Abstract
This paper mainly studies the maximum stiffness, minimum stiffness and global stiffness of a three-degree-of-freedom 4UPS-PU hybrid mechanism that can be used as the head section of a biologically inspired groundhog-like rescue robot. First of all, the kinematic and Jacobian matrix of the hybrid mechanism are derived; secondly, the maximum and minimum stiffness distribution trend of the 4UPS-PU manipulator are investigated and analyzed; and finally the global stiffness and its optimization are studied.
