- Concepts of isotropy and decoupling for parallel manipulators
- isotropy: the kinetostatic properties (same applicable force, same possible velocity, same stiffness) are identical in all directions (e.g. cubic configuration for Stewart platform)
- decoupling: each DoF of the end effector can be controlled by a single actuator (not the case for the Stewart platform)
Example of generated isotropic manipulator (not decoupled).
