Abstract
In this paper an on-site walking simulator with parallel manipulators is presented by looking at characteristics of a prototype built in Lima, Perú. Design peculiarities of parallel architectures are used for a powerful precise walking simulator by combining Kinematic features with dynamic capabilities through a suitable control system.
