Abstract
The Watt mechanism was invented by James Watt and consisted of a central point of the system that is configured to move as close as possible to a straight line. At one time this Mechanism was used in automobile suspensions as a lateral guiding mechanism, and in the field of robotics, it is used for various robots and in different applications. This article deals with the design and state of the art of new Watt mechanisms, their classification and analysis, their crossed kinematics are analyzed, these efforts represent a first moment to modify the movements of parallel delta-type robots and will allow to increase their precision.
