It is well established that a stiff structure along with an optimal mass distribution are key features to perform dynamic movements, and parallel designs provide these characteristics to a robot. This work presents the new upper-body design of the humanoid robot RH5 named RH5 Manus with series-parallel hybrid design. The new design choices allow us to perform dynamic motions including tasks that i...
