This paper highlights, various applications of parallel manipulator having multiple degrees of freedom (DOF). Parallel manipulators are used in various fields such as industry, space, medical, fusion reactor, and virtual reality. Here the focus is given to nuclear fusion applications. A review of kinematic analysis and dynamic analysis has been described. Also, there is a discussion on the use of a flexible joint to increase the performance of the system.
