Recursive matrix relations for kinematics and dynamics analysis of two known parallel mechanisms: the spatial 3-PRS and the planar 3-RRR are established in this paper. Knowing the motion of the platform, we develop first the inverse kinematical problem and determine the positions, velocities, and accelerations of the robot's elements. Further, the inverse dynamic problem is solved using an approach based on the principle of virtual work, and the results can be verified in the framework of the

Finally, compact matrix equations and graphs of simulation for power requirement comparison of each of three actuators in two different actuation schemes are obtained. For the same evolution of the moving platform, the power distribution upon the three actuators depends on the actuating configuration, but the total power absorbed by the set of three actuators is the same, at any instant, for both driving systems. The study of the dynamics of the parallel mechanisms is done mainly to solve successfully the control of the motion of such robotic systems.
