A force display system using serial-link structure driven by parallel-wire mechanism is proposed in this paper. The system has advantages of both serial-link structure and parallel-wire driven mechanism, such as large work space, not to interfere with its environment, good operativity, high-speed operation, safety and so on. The performance of the proposed system is demonstrated though some experimental results. Moreover, an application of virtual reality for rehabilitation training is introduced.
