Articulated mechanism and articulated pointing system comprising that mechanism. The articulated mechanism (1), comprises a first spherical joint (3), a second spherical joint (4), a third spherical joint (5), a first lever (6), a second lever (7), and a third lever (8).The first spherical joint (3) and the second spherical joint (4) are linked by the first lever (6), the first lever (6) comprising a first projecting portion (9); the first spherical joint (3) and the third spherical joint (5) are linked by the second lever (7), the second lever (7) comprising a second projecting portion (10) projecting in an opposite direction to the direction in which the first projecting portion (9) projects; and the second spherical joint (4) and the third spherical joint (5) are linked by the third lever (8), such that the longitudinal axis Y of the first lever (6) and the longitudinal axis X of the second lever (7) are perpendicular. The articulated pointing system (2) comprises a basement platform (11) and a mobile platform (12) which is movable with respect to the basement platform (11); two articulated hinge means (13) that join the basement platform (11) and the mobile platform (12), the movement of the hinge means (13) being performed by actuators (14, 14'); and an articulated mechanism (1) in which the first lever (6) is attached to the mobile platform (12) and the second lever (7) is attached to the basement platform (11).
