From Design and Simulation...

...to Fabrication and Control

Parallel manipulators are widely used for high speed, high accuracy positioning with limited workspace applications, e.g. in flight and automobile simulators, medical and industrial robotics, mechatronic applications, etc. Among numerous types of parallel manipulators, spherical parallel manipulators (SPMs) can be applied for designing orientation wrist platforms for industrial robot end effectors, solar or parabolic antenna orientation systems, medical and rehabilitation robots.

SINGULARITY FREE - OMNI WRIST

Two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) pointing mechanisms have been widely used in areas such as stabilized platforms, tracking devices, etc. The Omni-Wrist III robotic manipulator, inspired in design by the kinematics of the human wrist, is capable of a full 180° hemisphere of singularity-free pitch/yaw motion. The Omni-Wirst III is a very capable alternative to traditional gimbals systems.
