SPHERICAL PLATFORM MANIPULATOR-TRIPOD Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC B25J1/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, in particular to articulated platform manipulators of parallel structure, and can be used in technological machining centres for processing spherical surfaces, automatic assembly lines, antenna orientation devices and for driving video cameras of unmanned aerial vehicles and cars. Spherical platform manipulator-tripod comprises a base and a movable platform connected to each other through three rotary composite supports forming three parallel kinematic chains with drive and non-drive rotary kinematic pairs. At the same time drive and non-drive rotary kinematic pairs in kinematic chain are installed misaligned to each other, and are made with intersection of their axes in one common point located on vertical line of symmetry of manipulator-tripod.

EFFECT: simplified design and control system of drive without redundant connections, provision of separate kinematics of rotational movements, as well as expansion of functional capabilities and working space of manipulator.
