description In this work, an innovative Schönflies motion generator manipulator is introduced, featuring a parallel architecture composed of serial chains with mixed degrees of freedom. Fundamental kinematic aspects essential to any manipulator such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and singularity analyses are thoroughly addressed. Screw theory is employed to derive compact input–output expressions for velocity and acceleration, leveraging the properties of reciprocal screws and lines associated with the constrained degrees of freedom in the parallel manipulator. A key advantage of the proposed design is its near-complete avoidance of singular configurations, which significantly enhances its applicability in robotic manipulation. Numerical examples are provided to validate the theoretical results, with corroboration from specialized tools such as ADAMS™ software and data fitting algorithms. These results confirm the reliability and robustness of the developed kinematic analysis approach.
