Zusammenfassung:A new dextrous spherical wrist is presented here. The wrist is based upon a kinematically overconstrained and singularity-free pointing system. The pointing system and wrist are less mechanically complicated and have simpler kinematics than previously proposed systems. The mechanical simplification has enabled construction of a prototype, shown in photographs. [S1050-0472(00)00603-6]
