Reconfigurable parallel mechanisms represent a dynamic frontier in robotic and mechanical design, where modularity, flexibility and precision converge to address complex motion requirements. By ...

Hexapod multi-axis motion and positioning platforms have been around for several decades. Initially used for exotic applications, these six-legged parallel-kinematic machines are now becoming popular ...

This video shows the animation of Physik Instrumente (PI)’s parallel kinematics. In a parallel-kinematic structure, all drives are designed to act on the same moving platform so that each axis has the ...
