Claim 10:
11. A spatial parallel mechanism comprising:
a platform;
at least three legs configured for extending from a base or ground to the platform, each leg including
a distal link,
at least one distal joint providing one translational degree of freedom (DOF) about a distal translational direction, the at least one distal joint connecting a distal end of the distal link to the platform,
a proximal joint providing at least two rotational DOFs at the proximal end of the distal link, and
assemblies of joints and links to provide DOFs to each said leg between the proximal joint and the base or ground; and

wherein the distal translational directions axes of the at least three legs are coplanar.
