Although parallel manipulators possess the benefits of high acceleration and accuracy, they typically suffer from a limited workspace to footprint ratio. This paper presents a workspace analysis of two recently proposed axis-symmetric parallel manipulators designed to overcome this problem. The studied manipulators are parametrized, their inverse kinematic models are derived and an in-depth singularity analysis is performed. Next, the architectural parameters are generated for one of the manipulators, using a meta-heuristic algorithm to produce the maximum singularity-free workspace. Thereafter, a second parameter calculation is performed to examine the relationship between maximizing the global conditioning index (GCI) and the resultant achievable workspace for the manipulators.
