In this work, energy saving by using a redundantly actuated parallel mechanism is presented. The redundantly actuated parallel mechanisms have more actuators than the degrees of freedom of the mechanisms. We show that the excessive actuators can be used to save operating energy of the mechanism by distributing the operating torques against the gravitational force. The energy saving is verified by experiments for a 2-DOF parallel mechanism with three actuators, which is operated against the gravity. The results show that the redundant actuation scheme can save about 25% of average energy in various pathways with respect to the non-redundant analogue.
