Table 1: Parallel VS serial manipulators
Advantages Disadvantages
Serial Manoeuverability Poor precision
Large workspace Bends under high load
Vibrate at high speed
Parallel High stiffness Small workspace
Good dynamic performances
Precise positioning

The generalized Stewart platforms consists of two rigid bodies (referred to as the base and the platoform) connected through six extensible legs, each with sherical joints at both ends.
