Short summary
In this paper, the design principle of the symmetrical spherical parallel mechanism (SPM) is obtained by analyzing the conditions for symmetrical motion of the mechanism. A series of symmetrical SPMs is designed based on the constraint force provided by the branches. The SPM can realize continuous rotation around any line on the mid-plane that passes through the rotation center of the spherical mechanism. This feature has great potential for application in fields such as rehabilitation robotics.
