Analysis of Position for the 4-PUU Parallel Manipulator

An original 4-PUU parallelManipulator with three-dimensional translations and one rotational motion about Z axis was presented. Its positional inverse modals were set up by using the conversion of coordinates and projection in analytic geometry, and the method of the forward solution of theManipulator and corresponding numerical examples were given.This methods were verified by using MATLAB software,which can provide the basis for studying the parallel robots work space. And it has wide application in the fields of industrial robots, micromanipulators, virtual axis machine tools, damping platform, rehabilitation robot and other fields.
