What is it about?

This contribution exemplifies how easy is to formulate the closure equations associated to the forward displacement analysis of a Schoenflies parallel manipulator when the coordinates of three points of its moving platform are employed. Later, the input-output equations of velocity and acceleration are formulated by resorting to reciprocal screw theory. To this aim, the Klein form plays a central role.
