A Control System for Parallel Manipulator Based on Solidworks and MCU

A new strategy of parallel manipulator was developed for motion control.The motion trajectory was generated by using motion simulation module COSMOSMotion of SolidWorks software.The trajectory data were then exported and processed into the corresponding input data for manipulator.The processed motion data was transmited to MCU via serial port RS232 and executed by MCU to drive the manipulator.This method can solve motion control problem for parallel manipulator without complicated calculation,which has the characteristics of strong intuitiveness and high motion accuracy.
