PaRoLa - Parallel Robotics Laboratory

Introduction

PaRoLa is a virtual laboratory for simulating the kinematics and control of closed-chain mechanisms, especially parallel robots. Its features include:

  • Simulation of the direct and inverse kinematic problems
  • Visualization of the singularities and workspace of the mechanisms
  • Possibility of changing the design parameters of the mechanisms and see its effect on kinematics
  • Simulation of the closed-loop control of the mechanisms
  • Graphical animation of the simulated mechanisms and high degree of interactivity

Implemented mechanisms

To use PaRoLa, you may need to install or update Java Runtime Environment in your computer (https://www.java.com/download/).

After that, you can download a Java applet (.jar file) and directly run it, for each of the following mechanisms:
