“…In contrast to the numerous investigations devoted to the formulation of parallel manipulators' Jacobian matrix e.g., (Cleary and Uebel, 1994;Simaan, Glozman, and Shoham, 1998;Tsai, 1998Tsai, -1999, there are only a few studies addressing the formulation of its derivative. Dutré, et al, (1997) addressed this problem and obtained a closed form analytic expression for the derivative of the inverse Jacobian matrix with respect to time and with respect to the joint active variables.…”
