Abstract

In this paper, a parallel mechanism is proposed for the design of humanoid vertebra. This mechanism is inspired by a flight simulator system, and has been adapted and optimized to enable pitch and roll motion of a humanoid trunk at reduced energy cost. The system consists of a bottom platform and a top platform connected by two articulated arms and a vertical central rod. A 3D model of the system has been elaborated for simulation and design.
