    abstract     = {Summary: Parallel robots have received increasing attention from researchers and developing engineers over the past decade, due to their inherent advantages in terms of velocity, stiffness and accuracy. However, choosing the best mechanism with optimal dimensions for best performance is a challenging and complex task. Depending on the application, different performance criteria have to be taken into account following contradictory aims. The main idea of this paper is to present the fundamentals for structure synthesis as well as a power-based optimization of parallel robots according to given application requirements, with the focus on the dynamic performance for high speed assembly tasks.},
