Abstract

The subject of the paper is a design of the robot with closed kinematic chain with three degrees of freedom. The paper presents the design of a 4-DoF SCARA mechanical robot and a gear unit that is part of its propulsion system. A simple and inverse task of kinematics was solved. On the basis of the equations of forward kinematics, the work space was defined.
