6 DOF Industrial Robot Arm
An industrial robot arm with a hybrid kinematic design.

Overview
The location of the motors in SKMs robotic arms create a large inertia and a weight distribution that reduces accuracy and generates vibrations. On the other hand PKMs are lighter and faster, but usually have a smaller working space and are less tested and less used than SKMs. This 6 degree-of-freedom robotic arm was developed to include the advantages of both systems and is actuated by 6 motors mounted on the base of the robot. The kinematic controlled of the robot possed a strong development challenge and is still being developed.
