By taking a 2-DOF high-speed translational parallel manipulator as an object of study, this paper presents an approach that enables the servomotor parameters of parallel robots for pick-and-place operations to be estimated in an effective manner using the singular value decomposition. These parameters include the moment of inertia, speed, torque, and power of the motor required for producing the specified velocity and acceleration of the end effector. An example is given to determine these parameters of a device for the rechargeable battery quality inspection.
