arXiv preprint arXiv:1809.02148, 2018•arxiv.orgWe use topological techniques to do a workspace analysis of the Canfield Joint, a
mechanical linkage constructed with two plates connected by three legs. The Canfield Joint
has three degrees of freedom and can be controlled using three actuators attached to the
base in strategic positions. In the process of performing the workspace analysis, we describe
a new method of controlling the Joint which includes elements of both forward and inverse
kinematics. This control process is then used to answer the question of how the workspace …

We use topological techniques to do a workspace analysis of the Canfield Joint, a mechanical linkage constructed with two plates connected by three legs. The Canfield Joint has three degrees of freedom and can be controlled using three actuators attached to the base in strategic positions. In the process of performing the workspace analysis, we describe a new method of controlling the Joint which includes elements of both forward and inverse kinematics. This control process is then used to answer the question of how the workspace of the joint changes in the possibility of a failure mode where one degree of freedom is lost.
