Backdrivable Kinematically Redundant (6+3)-DOF Hybrid Parallel Robot – Part 1: Trajectory Control

This video demonstrates the operation of a novel backdrivable kinematically redundant (6+3)-dof spatial hybrid parallel robot. This robot has a very large translational and orientational workspace. Redundancy is used to completely alleviate singularities and to operate a gripper without having to mount any actuator on the moving platform. The parallel hybrid architecture yields high dynamic capabilities, as demonstrated in the last part of the video.
