文摘Structural synthesis for 4-DOF parallel manipulators using screw theory issystematically studied. Motion properties and constraint conditions of 4-DOF parallel manipulatorsaccording to the relationship between screw and reciprocal screw are analyzed.

Finally, a parallelmanipulator with 3-rotation-DOF and 1-translation-DOF is used as an example to describe thesynthesis procedure for symmetrical and non-symmetrical 4-DOF parallel manipulators.
