We apply the reciprocal screw theory to the study of the Jacobian matrix of a 3-RSR 3-DOF parallel manipulator. We find the reciprocal screw of the joint screw of a limb, thus obtaining the Jacobian constraint matrix, the Jacobian actuation matrix and the Jacobian overall matrix. These Jacobian matrices can derive the mapping between the motion speed of a moving platform and the speed of an actuation joint and carry out the easy and compre- hensive singularity analysis. Our 3-RSR parallel manipulator has no constraint singularity, and structural singularity occurs when the axial line of an act...
