Research and development of various parallel mechanism applications in engineering are now being performed more and more actively in every industrial field. Par

Parallel structures are more effective than serial ones for industrial automation applications that require high precision and stiffness, or a high load capacit

Gathering presentations to the First International Conference on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots, this book covers classification and definition, kinematics, works

Parallel robots are closed-loop mechanisms presenting very good performances in terms of accuracy, rigidity and ability to manipulate large loads. Parallel robo

The topics addressed in this book cover the whole range of kinematic analysis, synthesis and design and consider robotic systems possessing serial, parallel and
