1. Introduction
Parallel manipulators are closed-loop mechanisms that consist of separate serial chains connecting the fixed base to the
moving platform. Compared with serial manipulators, the followings are the potential advantages of parallel architectures:
higher kinematical precision, lighter weight and better stiffness, greater load bearing, stabile capacity and suitable position
of arrangement of actuators. But, from application point of v
