Abstract
This paper initially deals with the design of a new customized reconfigurable mobile parallel mechanism. This mechanism is called the 'Taar Reconfigurable ParaMobile' (TRPM), consisting of three mobile robots as the main actuators. Then, the kinematics and path planning for this mechanism are presented. The newly proposed mechanism is expected to circumvent some shortcomings of inspection operation in unknown environments with unexpected changes in their workspace, for example, in a water pipe with a non-uniform cross-sectional area. In this paper, 'Artificial Potential Field' (APF) has been assumed to be the path planning algorithm and its resulting attractive and repulsive forces are only...
