Type Synthesis of 3R2T Hybrid Robot Mechanisms based on Serial-opened-chain Unit by Chen Hai, Qin Youlei, Cao Yi

“…By analyzing the characteristics of structures for the lower- mobility serial robot mechanism and parallel robot mechanism,a systematic and effective type synthesis including the definition and symbol denotation method of both hybrid robot with a parallel mechanism and multi- parallel mechanisms method is proposed for hybrid robot mechanisms based on the principle of movement spiral linear independence and units of the lower- mobility serial mechanism with single- opened- chain limb. …”
