On the Design of a Fast Parallel Robot Based on Its Dynamic Model

A high-speed, four-degree-of-freedom (dof), parallel robot is analysed by considering in detail its dynamic model as well as issues directly linked to its practical design. A small change in its kinematics is then proposed that lead to a dramatic change in its dynamic behaviour, providing room for a radical improvement and a new version of the robot.
