Abstract

This paper addresses the design of a 2-dof novel flexible parallel robot that maximizes the fundamental frequency of vibration under a specified total weight constraint. In order to enhance the natural frequency of the robot in the direction Z, structure modification of the robot is made based on the initial project. The proposed robot is suitable for the application that requires high-speed motion in a plane and step-by-step, or relatively low speed on the orthogonal direction.
