At present, the machining or reparation of large parts is a huge challenge. The existing method is to disassemble large parts for machining in sections or use a mobile robotic arm for machining. However, these methods have some disadvantages, such as occupying large area or insufficient rigidity, high cost in actual operation, and low quality stability. Therefore, this paper focuses on design and ...Show More

In the constructed robot, the limited workspace and high rigidity of Cartesian parallel manipulator provide the surgical robot with enhanced safety and high cutting accuracy. The complex kinematics of parallel manipulators is also avoided because of the decoupled feature of the CPM. T...Show More
