KINEMATICS | Tripteron 3-DOF Cartesian parallel robot (This is not CGI)

Tripteron is a truly unique robot that combines the properties of serial and parallel mechanisms at the same time. It has three translational degrees of freedom independently controlled by three actuators which correspond to the x, y, and z axes of the Cartesian coordinate system. Thus, the robot has a straightforward kinematic model and does not require any complex equations to control it. Nevertheless, being a parallel robot, Tripteron provides the ability to reach high acceleration due to the fact that the heavy components (motors, guides, ball screws) are always fixed. The Tripteron concept has been developed by scientists from Laval University (Canada) and patented in the early 2000s.
