Abstract

SUMMARYThe workspace of a parallel manipulator is usually smaller than the size of the robot itself. It is important to derive new structures that enjoy the advantages of parallel manipulators and also have a large workspace. In this paper we present two configurations of similar structures RRRS and RRSR with rotating links. The RRRS structure has a relatively large workspace—larger than the size of the robot itself—which is not common in parallel robots. The inverse and forward kinematics of the robots are presented. The workspaces of the robots are compared to similar and well-known structures, such as Eclipse, Alizade, Delta, and Hexa robots.
