Abstract

Over the past decades, spherical actuator has been a more and more popular research topic worldwide. Due to its advantages of compact size, high motion precision, fast response, direct driven, non-singularity in workspace and high efficiency, it has wide potential applications in robotics, manufacturing, automobile, precision assembling and medical surgery. The fundamental concepts and working principles of various spherical actuators are presented in the monograph. Systematic study approaches on the modeling, design, experimental investigation and orientation sensing technologies of permanent magnet (PM) spherical actuators are the focus of this book. In this chapter, the background and motivation of the development of multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) spherical actuator is introduced. Following that, the state of the art of the studies on spherical actuators is reviewed. Subsequently, the research objective and scope of a 3-DOF PM spherical actuator are presented. Finally, the outline of the monograph is proposed.
