Summary

Parallel robots are widely used in the fields of manufacturing, medical science, education, scientific research, etc. Many studies have been conducted on the topic already. However, shortcomings still exist, especially in certain situations. To meet the demand of good speed and load performances at the same time, this work presents a novel 2-degree-of-freedom parallel robot. The structural design, static, stiffness, and reachable workspace analysis of the robot are given in the manuscript. Experiment regarding the accuracy and speed performance is conducted, and the results are provided. In the end, potential applications of the proposed robot are suggested.
