Parallel robots with configurable platforms

Conventional parallel robots are formed by several independent serial chains, connecting in-parallel a single rigid platform, or end-effector, to the base. The novel concept behind a parallel robot with configurable platform is that the rigid end-effector is replaced by a closed-loop chain, which can provide additional grasping capability or...

Parallel Robots with Configurable Platforms

This thesis explores the fundamentals of a new class of parallel mechanisms called parallel mechanisms with configurable platforms as well as the design and analysis of parallel robots that are based on those mechanisms. Pure parallel robots are formed by two rigid links, the base and the end-effector, connected in parallel by independent serial...

Parallel kinematics robot with five legs

Robot with multiple degrees of freedom comprising five legs (2) linked at a first of their ends to a base ( 3), and at a second of their ends opposite to the first ends to a mobile platform (4), which platform carries at least one tool (5, 6, 121, 12 "), and wherein the robot further comprises an actuator for operating the tool or tools, which...
