An Introduction to Parallel Robot Mechanism

Abstract:

With the dual relationship between parallel mechanism and serial mechanism on the structure and performance characteristics, the emergence of parallel mechanism, expand the areas of application of the robot. In this paper, a survey on the origin, main characteristics, field of application, and theoretical research of parallel manipulators are reviewed. Finally, some important problems of the parallel manipulator are mentioned to be solved.
