Workspace Representation and Optimization of a Novel Parallel Mechanism with Three-Degrees-of-Freedom

The development of a new parallel mechanism based on simulation driven design is a rapid approach to discover the unique features or advantages of a conceptual model. In this research, one novel parallel mechanism which can generate three degrees-of-freedom translations is proposed. The kinematic mo...
