Abstract  A novel end-effectors of Chinese massage robot was constructed. The massage robots kinematics model was established by means of the homogeneous coordinate transformation and inverse positions of the mechanism were investigated. Based on the Chinese medical massage manipulation, the structural parameters of the parallel mechanism workspace influence rule was discussed, which provided the foundation for workspace synthesis. The workspace of this Chinese medical massage robot was portrayed based on the Monte Carlo principle through programming on MATLAB. The threedimensional model of the arm was created by Pro/E and was imported into ADAMS for the movement locus. The simulation results showed that the design of end-effectors of Chinese massage robot could meet the massage requirements and its correctness was verified. It indicates that the working points in the workspace of this massage mechanical robot are distributed compactly and uniformly, which can satisfy the Chinese medical massage requirements with high efficiency. It provides a theoretical basis for the practicability of Chinese massage robot.
