Abstract
This paper presents the conceptual design and simulation of a rotational parallel robot. This robot is used to reproduce movement; the robot workspace, inverse kinematic study and a simulation of the system in a trajectory were analyzed. Computational tools were used to resolve equations, create a virtual design and conduct simulation in the conceptual design. The rotational parallel robot used 6 servomotors and 6 links with spherical joints that provide 360o rotational capabilities on its axis. This is a big flexibility in comparison with Stewart platform but the workspace is smaller than that of the Stewart platform.
