Parallel Robot mechanism

One advantage of the parallel drive trains (including the partially parallel Cartesian drive train) is that all of the motors can be mounted in a fixed location. Serial drive trains generally require at least one motor to be mounted to a moving part, which means that some other motor (and the mechanism attached to it) has to be strong enough to move that motor around and keep it constrained to the desired position.
