As demonstrated by the exceptionally successful Delta robot, parallel kinematics Schönflies
motion generators (PKSMG) exhibit several advantages over their serial counterparts …

Although parallel manipulators provide several benefits compared to similar-sized serial
manipulators, they typically exhibit a limited rotational workspace. One approach to …

Inspired by fewer-limb multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel mechanisms (PMs), a
systematic method that synthesizes multi-DOF drive systems is presented based on Lie …

A parallel mechanism possesses several advantages compared to a similar-sized serial
mechanism, including the potential for higher accuracy and reduced moving mass, the latter …

Parallel manipulators with a rotation-symmetric arm system possess all the typical
advantages of parallel robots, such as high acceleration and high-accuracy positioning …

This paper investigates axis-symmetric parallel manipulators, composed of a central base
column and an arm system able to rotate around this column. The arm system includes …

Singularities are one of the most important issues affecting the performance of parallel
mechanisms. Therefore, analysis of their locations and closeness is essential for the …

A kinematically redundant (6+ 3)-degree-of-freedom (DOF) hybrid parallel robot with an
axisymmetric workspace is proposed. By arranging the first revolute joint of each leg such …

Parallel manipulators possess several advantages compared to serial robots, including the
possibilities for high acceleration and high accuracy positioning of the manipulated platform …

This paper presents a novel 4 degree-of-freedom Schönflies-motion parallel manipulator,
which is an upgraded design of a 3 degree-of-freedom planar parallel manipulator. The …
