Abstract

This research develops the robot for the machining work. For machining work(cutting, milling, grilling, etc.), a robot manipulator is constructed by combining a parallel and a serial mechanism to increase stiffness as well as enlarge workspace. Based on the geometric constraints, this paper develops the formulation for inverse/direct kinematics and Jacobian to design and control a robot. Workspace is also analyzed to prove the advantage of the proposed robot.
