title = "A novel parallel mechanism design based on tripod components",
abstract = "This paper presents an innovative design for a parallel manipulator that can be applied to a flight simulator. The new parallel manipulator has four degrees of freedom, including three translations and one rotation about z-axis. The rotations about x and y axis are coupled with the moving pairs of its moving platform. The parallel manipulator can be considered as the combination of a modular component and a hyper-redundant mechanism since it consists of two Tripod mechanisms with the same size. The end-effector is the center of the spherical joint that connects the two moving platforms. Therefore, high torque capacity and high-speed precision motions can be obtained. Both inverse and forward kinematics problem are investigated. Finally, the kinematics simulation is also conducted.",
