Parallel manipulators and robots constitute an advanced class of robotic systems where the end-effector is supported by several simultaneous kinematic chains. This architecture affords notable advantages in terms of stiffness, speed, and repeatability ...

For decades we’ve been trying to make the robots smarter and more physically capable by mimicking biological intelligence and movement. “But in doing so, we’ve been just replicating the results of biological evolution—I say we need to replicate its ...
