ABB The basic design and operating principles of parallel kinematic, pick and place robots such as the ABB Flexpicker shown in Figure 1 make them ideal for applications where high speed movement, low mass payloads and the need for only 3 or 4 degrees of freedom are required. Based on your knowledge of basic engineering principles and using Figure 1 as a reference, explain and critically discuss why this is so. Figure 1 ABB Flexpicker robot
