What is it about?
A Parallel Manipulator (PM), also known as a parallel robot, is a type of mechanical system that uses several computer-controlled serial chains to support a single platform, e.g. end-effector. Such devices are articulated robots that are used to support a movable base for various technologies and industrial applications. Our designed manipulators are in fact suitable for a diverse range of applications, including in flight simulators, surgical robots, high-precision positioning devices, and entertainment systems, among others. We have contributed to an enhanced understanding of the effective design of PMs, and have therefore facilitated progress in their application in various major industries.
