Parallel-Kinematics Machines (PKM) are mechanical systems that have a multidegree-of-freedom platform connected with a number of actuating arms in parallel geometry. Such kind of mechanical systems may possess high force loading capacity and fine dexterous motion characteristics at the same time due...
