Hybrid motion–measurement control and traceable HMI for a 3-PSP manipulator

Purpose This study aims to present and validate a hybrid motion–measurement control architecture and a traceability-oriented human–machine interface (HMI) for a three-DOF 3-prismatic–spherical–prismatic (3-PSP) parallel manipulator configured as a micro-coordinate measuring machine (CMM), improving stability, reproducibility and metrological traceability. Design/methodology/approach Control software integrates LabVIEW with embedded Python for forward/inverse kinematics model. Closed-loop iterati
