            Abstract : 
In this paper, to exploring the less d.o.f parallel manipulator, the authors choose the 3-RRRT parallel manipulator as researching object, build a D-H coordinate system after reasonable analysis with the thought of virtual link, and then establish a mathematical model of kinematic by using the method of Homogeneous Coordinate Transformation. The direct and inverse solutions will be obtained by using the MATLAB software. At last, the solutions and the mathematical model will be proved right with PRO / E software.
