Abstract

In this paper, a new 3T1R partially motion-decoupled parallel manipulator (PM) with low coupling degree of κ = 1 and one redundant actuation chain is proposed. The topological design of the PM is introduced. Then the direct position analysis is developed by the molding method based on ordered single-opened-chain (SOC) units. The direct kinematics modeling method based on the SOC units is simple but powerful, which can be applicable to any PMs.
