En principio, se pueden distinguir dos grupos [de robots paralelos], los robots planares y los espaciales. Los mecanismos planares son aquellos en los que su movimiento se reduce al plano. Por tanto, pueden tener dos o tres grados de libertad, correspondientes al movimiento de traslación en el plano y a una rotación sobre un eje perpendicular al mismo. Los robots espaciales son aquellos que evolucionan en todo el espacio tridimensional.
