The utility model provides a six-degree-of-freedom parallel robot with fewer linkages in the combination drive of ropes and rods, which can be used for the posture adjustment occasions of automatic television cameras and the like in the television and film media industry. The six-degree-of-freedom parallel robot with the fewer linkages in the combination drive of the ropes and the rods consists of a mobile platform, an immobile platform and four driving linkages, and is characterized in that three external driving linkages have identical structure, and are symmetrically distributed in the space; one end of another one middle driving linkage is perpendicularly connected with the immobile platform; the other end of the middle driving linkage is connected with the mobile platform; and the linkages play a role in supporting and restricting the mobile platform. The six-degree-of-freedom parallel robot with the fewer linkages in the combination drive of the ropes and the rods has the advantages of identical mechanical structures of at least three driving linkages with availability for modular design and manufacture, simple structure, small inertia, low manufacture cost and simple installation and the like, the total quantity of the linkages is decreased so as to reduce the interference between the linkages in comparison with the traditional Stewart platform, and working space and flexibility are increased by adopting flexible ropes to replace a part of rigid rods as a drive. When being developed as the automatic television cameras, the mechanism applicable to the posture adjustment occasions of the automatic television cameras and the like can realize significance decrease in staffs, so as to reduce the shooting cost of teleplays and films and improve the shooting quality of the teleplays and films.
