Review of Parallel Manipulator for Various Applications

Abstract

This paper highlights, various applications of parallel manipulator having multiple degrees of freedom (DOF} . Parallel manipulators are used in various fields such as industry, space, medical, fusion reactor, and virtual reality. Here the focus is given to nuclear fusion applications. A review of kinematic analysis and dynamic analysis has been described. Also, there is a discussion on the use of a flexible joint to increase the performance of the system.
