In order to make up for the shortcomings of the current parallel robot experimental platform, such as weak flexibility and inability to expand. A “virtual-real” complementary digital twin model based on modular reconfigurable robot innovative components was proposed, and an experimental platform for the 6-SPS parallel mechanism with virtual-real combination, complementary functions and mutual verification was designed. The theoretical models of displacement, velocity and acceleration of the 6-SPS parallel robot were established, and the Jacobian matrix of the mechanism was obtained. A trajectory was planned, and the consistency between the theoretical model and the real running trajectory was verified through experiments. The maximum reachable working space of the robot was analyzed, and based on this, the kinematic performance of the mechanism of the robot in a fixed attitude and any attitude was analyzed. The experimental platform was applied to experimental teaching. Through the combination of virtual and real methods, problems such as tight experimental venues and insufficient experimental equipment were solved, increasing the application rate of equipment and improving the effect of experiments. Practice shows that this experimental method, which is intuitive, vivid and combines virtual and real elements, is conducive to enhancing students’ exploration interest and engineering practice ability.
