Invented in the 1980's by a research team led by Professor ReymondClavel. The first idea was to use parallelograms to build a parallel robot with 4 degrees of freedom. Parallelograms were used because they allow an output part to remain fixed at a certain orientation with respect to an input.
ReymondClavel did not know about the parallel mechanism that Willard L. Pollard patented in 1942. ReymondClavel was awarded with the golden robot award for his work on the Delta Parallel Robot.
In the 1980’s the industry stared growing very fast because the need to manipulate small objects at high speeds became necessary.
