Abstract

With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment sectors, the demand for heavy-load, high-precision attitude adjustment equipment has become increasingly urgent. The 3-RCU parallel robot, as a typical 1-pivot 2-axis (1T2R) degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism, possesses unique application value in scenarios such as major equipment attitude adjustment and aerospace component assembly due to its high rigidity, precision, and compact structure. Its mechanism design and performance optimization have become research hotspots in the field of parallel robotics. This paper systematically reviews the current research status of 3-RCU parallel robot mechanism design and performance optimization, outlines core theoretical foundations including degree-of-freedom analysis, kinematic and dynamic modeling, and performance optimization, summarizes key research advancements in structural topology innovation, multidimensional performance optimization, and engineering applications, analyzes theoretical, performance, and engineering application bottlenecks in current research, and ultimately concludes that while a foundational theoretical system has been established in this field, significant room for improvement remains in theoretical refinement, performance enhancement
