Relative Kinematic Analysis of Serial and Parallel Manipulators

Abstract

Day by day the applications of parallel and serial manipulators become evident and with high industrial applications in the fields of manufacturing, space equipments, pick and place robots and medical equipments. In this paper a comparison is made between kinematic analysis of serial and parallel manipulator is made in terms of workspace, position, synthesis, orientation and applications. In this article sensitivity comparison of serial and parallel manipulator with different actuator positions taken as parameter.
