Abstract
This chapter will deal with the problem of designing parallel robots. We first have to choose the mechanical architecture, a problem that has been treated in the Chapter Synthesis and Architectures. Then we must determine the dimensions of the robot so that it complies as closely as possible with the performance needed for the task at hand. Indeed a direct result of the previous chapters is that the performance of a parallel robot is so dependent on its dimensions that a customization of the robot is absolutely necessary. We will describe the main approaches for solving this problem, even if only partially.
