The orientation of the end effector is always parralel with the ground. Hence the name parallel robot. I beleive that hexapod style parallel robots can control the EE orientaion. But they are more complicated than this as they require 6 servos and thi requires only 3

Hahah. I like the way you edited the video. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the robot to give any intelligible feedback about it, but it looked pretty cool and functional. XD

[budsiskos]

Thanks, but your feedback is always intelligible.

Hey bro bro, do you have the programing code, im making one of these for a school proyect and i dont know how to program it, and if you have some ideas, the one we are making is with motors.

@budsiskos They are called parallel robots because the actuators act in parallel on the end effector. Unlike a conventional serial system with axis stacked on axis.

@budsiskos you can tilt the end effector with 3DOF. The 6DOF hexapods can rotate the effector. Great robot!

[TheAdLab]

Great stuff. Can you control the orientation of the end effector? i.e could you keep it perpendicular to the floor while moving around?
