'''Cartesian parallel manipulators''' move a platform using [[Parallel manipulator|parallel]] connected kinematic [[Linkage (mechanical)|linkages]] (`limbs') lined up with a [[Cartesian coordinate system]]. Multiple limbs connect the moving platform to a base. Each limb is driven by a [[linear actuator]] and the linear actuators are mutually perpendicular. The term `parallel' here refers to the way that the kinematic linkages are put together, it does not connote [[Parallel (geometry)|geometric parallelism]]; i.e., equidistant lines. [[Manipulator (device)|Manipulators]] may also be called `[[Robot|robots]]' or `[[Mechanism (engineering)|mechanisms]]'.
