In this contribution, a systematic methodology for solving the kinematic and dynamic
analyses of a modular spatial hyper-redundant manipulator built with an optional number of …

This study addresses the kinematics, including position, velocity and acceleration analyses,
of a modular spatial hyper-redundant manipulator built with a variable number of serially …

This work presents a novel hyper-redundant manipulator. Such a manipulator is built with a
variable number of tandem-assembled modules. Each module consists of a 3-dof parallel …

The hyper redundant manipulators (HRMs) have excessively many degrees of freedom. As
a special but practicable subset of them, the binary hyper-redundant manipulators (BHRMs) …

In this paper, we introduce a new class of parallel manipulators, called general hybrid
parallel manipulators (GHPM). These are modular manipulators that may contain serial …

In this work the kinematics of a hybrid manipulator, namely a fully parallel-serial manipulator,
with a particular topology is approached by means of the theory of screws. Given the length …

Due to a large number of redundant degrees of freedom (DOFs), the hyper-redundant
manipulator shows outstanding dexterity and adaptability in avoiding the obstacles in …

This paper addresses the singularity analysis and the design of three new types of
kinematically redundant parallel mechanisms, ie, the four-degree-of-freedom planar and …

A new and efficient kinematic position and velocity solution scheme for spatial hyper-
redundant manipulators is presented. The manipulator's arm has discrete links and …

In this contribution the kinematic and dynamic analyses, up to the determination of the
driving forces, of a specific class of series–parallel manipulators, known as 2 (3-RPS) …
