Abstract

This paper presents a novel 4 dofs (3T-1R) parallel actuatedly redundant mechanism and its workspace analysis, based on a performance index involving velocity and force capabilities. The robot is capable of performing a half-turn about the z axis. Moreover, having all of its prismatic actuators along one direction; the x motion is independent- only limited by the stroke of the prismatic actuators. The mechanism is characterized by elevated dynamical capabilities having its actuators at base.
