            Abstract : 
The SC method is applied to the positioning sub-chain of a seven-DOF with zero joint offsets, such as the MHI PA-10 arm. Via the two vector fields obtained, decoupled motion control of the end-effector and the arm plane, respectively, can be realized. No additional singularities are introduced, and motion through kinematic singularities is stable.
