This paper characterizes geometrically the singularities of limited-DOF parallel manipulators. The geometric conditions associated with the dependency of six Plücker vector of lines (finite and infinite) constituting the rows of the inverse Jacobian matrix are formulated using Grassmann-Cayley algebra. Manipulators under consideration do not need to have a passive spherical joint somewhere in each leg. This study is illustrated with three example robots. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
