Abstract
PPR-equivalent parallel manipulators (PMs) are a class of 3-DOF PMs with great application potential. They are indeed the parallel counterparts of the 3-DOF PPR serial robots, in which the moving platform can rotate arbitrarily about an axis undergoing a planar translation. This paper deals with the type synthesis of 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs. At first, virtual chains are introduced to represent the motion patterns of 3-DOF motions and relevant results from screw theory are recalled. A method is then proposed for the type synthesis of 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs. Using the proposed approach, the type synthesis of 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs is performed in three steps. In addition to all the 3-DOF PPR-equivalent parallel kinematic chains and 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs proposed in the literature, a number of new 3-DOF PPR-equivalent parallel kinematic chains and 3-DOF PPR-equivalent PMs are identified. It is also found that there are no PPR-equivalent PMs with identical type of legs. The type synthesis of PPR-equivalent PMs is well solved using the proposed approach. The characteristic of the proposed approach is that the type synthesis of PPR-equivalent parallel kinematic chains is reduced to the type synthesis of 3-DOF single-loop kinematic chains and thus easy to perform.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
