A hybrid drive parallel arm for heavy material handling.

This article discusses a hybrid drive parallel arm driven by cables and cylinders in order to design a compact handling arm, thus enlarging its workspace. Our major objective is to develop a dexterous arm capable of controlling six-degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion of heavy materials. The article inclu...
