### Abstract {#abstract}
A manipulator exhibits an _isotropic behaviour_ when it has the same performances along all the directions of the working space.
The authors introduce the new concept of _Point of Isotropy_, showing how in some circumstances a non-isotropic manipulator may be transform into an isotropic one simply changing the location of its Tool Center Point (TCP).
### Introduction {#introduction}
**Kinetostatic** of parallel manipulator can be studied with the following equations:
\begin{align}
\dot{Q} &= J \dot{S} \\\\\\
F\_s &= J^T F\_q \\\\\\
J &= \frac{\partial Q}{\partial S}
\end{align}
where \\(J\\) is the Jacobian matrix which relates the "gripper" velocity \\(\dot{S}\\) with those of the actuators \\(\dot{Q}\\), as well as the forces \\(F\_q\\) exerted by the actuators with the forces/torques \\(F\_s\\) applied to the gripper.
### Isotropy {#isotropy}
A robot is called **isotropic** if at least in one point of the working space some of its kinetostatic properties are homogeneous with respect to all the directions.
<div class="definition">
<div></div>
- **Velocity isotropy**: A manipulator is isotropic with respect to the velocity, if it can perform the same velocity along all the directions.
- **Force isotropy**: A manipulator is isotropic with respect to the force, if it can exert the same force along all the directions.
- **Stiffness isotropy**: A manipulator is isotropic with respect to the stiffness, if the deflection of the TCP produced by a force applied to it is always in the direction of the force and its magnitude is independent of the force direction.
- **Mass isotropy**: A manipulator is isotropic with respect to the equivalent gripper mass, if the acceleration of the TCP produced by a force applied to it is always in the direction of the force and its magnitude is independent of the force direction.
</div>
A 6-DoF spatial manipulator is isotropic with respect to velocity if:
\begin{equation}
J^T J = \diag(j\_{xx}, j\_{yy}, j\_{zz}, j\_{\alpha\alpha}, j\_{\beta\beta}, j\_{\gamma\gamma}) \quad \text{with} \quad j\_{xx}=j\_{yy}=j\_{zz} \quad \text{and} \quad j\_{\alpha\alpha}=j\_{\beta\beta}=j\_{\gamma\gamma}
\end{equation}
The same condition holds for the force isotropy.
Assuming that the actuators are locked and that they are the only sources of compliance, the force \\(F\_s\\) to be applied to the end effector to produce a motion \\(dS\\) is:
\begin{equation}
F\_s = \underbrace{J^T K\_q J}\_{K\_s} dS \quad K\_q = \diag(\dots,k\_i,\dots)
\end{equation}
where \\(k\_i\\) is the stiffness of the ith actuator.
A general 6-DoF manipulator is **fully isotropic** with respect to stiffness if:
\begin{equation}
K\_s = \diag(k\_{xx}, k\_{yy}, k\_{zz}, k\_{\alpha\alpha}, k\_{\beta\beta}, k\_{\gamma\gamma}) \quad \text{with} \quad k\_{xx}=k\_{yy}=k\_{zz}=k\_x \quad \text{and} \quad k\_{\alpha\alpha}=k\_{\beta\beta}=k\_{\gamma\gamma}=k\_\phi
\end{equation}
In this case, it results:
\begin{equation}
F = k\_x dX, \quad T = k\_\phi d\phi
\end{equation}
where \\(k\_x\\) is the translation stiffness and \\(k\_\phi\\) is the rotation stiffness.
This means that:
- forces \\(F\\) applied to the TCP do not produce rotations \\(d\phi\\) but only translations \\(dX\\)
- the translation is proportional to the force and parallel to it regardless to the force direction
- torques \\(T\\) applied to the TCP do not produce translations \\(dx\\) but only rotations \\(d\phi\\)
- the rotation is proportional to the torque and occurs around the same axis as the applied torque
In this special case in which all the actuators are identical to each other, and therefore have the same stiffness \\(k\\), we have \\(K\_s = kJ^TJ\\) and the condition number of the matrix \\(J^TJ\\) can be investigated instead of that of \\(J^T K\_q J\\).
In this case the isotropy for velocity, force and stiffness are achieve simultaneously.
A manipulator is **partially isotropic** if:
\begin{equation}
k\_{xx} = k\_{yy} \neq k\_{zz} \quad \text{and/or} \quad k\_{\alpha\alpha} = k\_{\beta\beta} \neq k\_{\gamma\gamma}
\end{equation}
### Point of isotropy {#point-of-isotropy}
A parallel manipulator as a "point of isotropy" if it exists at least one point of its end effector for which the isotropy condition is achieved.
Then conditions are given to find an isotropic TCP.
### Application to the Stewart platform {#application-to-the-stewart-platform}
Conditions can be applied to the Stewart platform and isotropy points can be found.

A parallel manipulator consists of a movable platform, a fixed base, and six struts, each with a linear actuator.
The struts are partitioned into two groups: the first group with strut 1,3,5 and the second group with strut 2,4,6.
The attached points of each strut are uniformly spaced on the circumferences of two circles on the movable platform and the fixed base, respectively.
The three struts in each group are rotational symmetry and repeat every 120 deg.
This parallel manipulator with this kind of configurations are defined as generalized symmetric Gough-Stewart parallel manipulators (GSGSPMs).

A compliance center exists consequentially for any GSGSPMs.
At the compliance center, a GSGSPM is uncoupled.

A manipulator is called partially of totally decoupled if the general movements of the robot can be subdivided in elementary tasks, each actuated by one or a group of actuators.
Decoupling may be referred to the end effector coordinate or to local kinetostatic properties related to the Jacobian.

- Total decoupling occurs when the Jacobian is diagonal
- Partial decoupling is when the Jacobian is triangular
- Block decoupling is when the Jacobian is block diagonal

<summary>
The paper discusses the concepts of isotropy and decoupling in n-DoF PKM.
The role of different Jacobian matrices in the isotropy, decoupling and in general mobility analysis of manipulators is recalled.
It is highlighted how isotropy and decoupling may be achieved for pure translational manipulators in the whole workspace while rotational manipulators maybe decoupling in only one configuration.

<summary>
This paper proposes a novel concept, namely _isotropic control_ to solve the problem of having identical performance in all DoF.
Dynamic equations of parallel mechanisms with base excitation are established and analyzed.
An isotropic control framework is then synthesized in modal space.
The multi-DoF system is transformed into multi identical single-DoF systems.
Under the framework of isotropic control, parallel mechanisms obtain an identical frequency response for all modes.
An identical corner frequency, active damping, and rate of low-frequency transmissibility are achieved for all modes.
