Abstract
This paper presents a family of novel orientational 3-dof parallel robots, which are not overconstrained whereas most of the previously described mechanisms are. Using equivalencies that stem from the algebraic structure of Lie group of the set of Euclidean displacements, we have found many new tripod limbs and some of them are truly amazing by including prismatic pairs.
