This book discusses the parametric modeling, performance evaluation, design optimization and comparative study of the high-speed, parallel pick-and-place robots. It collects the modeling methodology, evaluation criteria and design guidelines for parallel PnP robots to provide a systematic analysis method for robotic developers. Furthermore, it gathers the research results previously scattered in many prestigious international journals and conference proceedings and methodically edits them and presents them in a unified form. The book is of interest to researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students in industrial parallel robotics who wish to learn the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications.

“Books on parallel robots or PnP robots are rare, the combination of both topics is quite unique. … A typical chapter starts with a compact theoretical introduction of relevant concepts which is followed by a detailed discussion at hand of several more or less sophisticated PnP robots. This focus on concrete examples makes the book well suited for self-study, but it is certainly also suited as primary reading for a theoretical robotics class at graduate level.” (Hans-Peter Schröcker, zbMATH 1537.70002, 2024)
