In this paper the elastodynamic optimization of a 3T1R parallel manipulator is performed. The robot is first divided into subsystems including its four legs and the moving platform; then, each leg is split into three modules. A module is made of flexible and rigid links coupled by means of ideal joints. Once the global stiffness and inertia matrices are obtained upon assembling all modules of the...
