In this paper, a novel 3-P (R) S parallel mechanism is proposed by replacing the revolute joint of general 3-PRS mechanisms with a four-bar linkage in order to improve its stiffness and enlarge its workspace. It was applied to a hybrid spraying robot as the terminal sprayer tool, which has the capacity to make the sprayer perpendicular to the spraying surface. In order to provide a theoretical basic for the control system design, the kinematics and dynamics of the proposed mechanism was investigated by adopting the discrete time transfer matrix method (DT-TMM). Generally, the kinematics and dynamics of parallel mechanisms are studied individually. Compared with the conventional approaches, the DT-TMM could handle both the kinematics and dynamics at the same time. Based on the overall transfer equation of the mechanism, its kinematics and dynamics are analyzed through numerical simulation.
