== Description ==

Cartesian parallel manipulators are in the intersection of two broader categories of manipulators: [[Cartesian coordinate robot|Cartesian]] and [[Parallel manipulator|parallel]]. Cartesian manipulators are driven by mutually perpendicular linear actuators. They generally have a one-to-one correspondence between the linear positions of the actuators and the ''X, Y, Z'' position coordinates of the moving platform, making them easy to control. Most commonly, [[Cartesian coordinate robot|Cartesian manipulators]] are [[Serial manipulator|serial]]-connected; i.e., they consist of a single [[Linkage (mechanical)|kinematic linkage]] chain. On the other hand, Cartesian parallel manipulators are parallel-connected, providing innate advantages<ref>Z. Pandilov, V.
