Short summary
A systematic methodology for the type synthesis of a compliant parallel mechanism (CPM) with a suitable constrained branch is introduced. The whole type synthesis principle is built upon the rigid-body-replacement method and the freedom and constraint topology approaches. A series of 2R1T motion CPMs with a suitable constraint branch are proposed. These synthesized compliant mechanisms have potential applications to posture adjustments for the space optical load in the aerospace field.

Short summary
Based on the freedom and constraint topology approach and atlas approach, a new method for the synthesis of a redundant actuated compliant parallel mechanism is proposed, the synthesis conditions are given, and the synthesis process is formulated. With this proposed method, two new translation redundant actuated compliant parallel mechanisms are synthesized, and some new mechanisms have been synthesized. The degree of freedom analysis verifies the correctness and effectiveness of the method.
