We study singularities for a parallel mechanism with a planar movingplatform in ℝ(=2,3), with joints which are universal, spherical (spatial case),or rotational (planar case). For such mechanisms, we give a necessary conditionfor a topological singularity to occur, and describe the corresponding kinematicsingularity. An example is provided
