Araba Parallel Manipulator

Structure of mechanism
Function	Araba is a four degrees-of-freedom 3T1R fully-parallel manipulator developed at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of the Basque Country. The 3T1R nomenclature usually stands for three translations and a rotation around the vertical axis. This manipulator is intended to perform pick and place operations, where high-speed requirements, stiffness, and high accuracy make parallel manipulators an option that must be taken into account.
