Optimal dimensioning is a fundamental problem in the design of Parallel Manipulators
(PMs). However, this problem is revealed to be very hard to solve because many PM …

It has long been a challenge to carry out the optimal design of parallel kinematic machine
(PKM) simultaneously considering stiffness and mass performances. This paper proposes …

Real–world engineering problems often require concurrent optimisation of several design
objectives. These objectives are conflicting in most of the cases. Such an optimisation is …

This paper deals with the multi-objective optimal design of a novel 6-degree of freedom
(DOF) hybrid spray-painting robot. Its kinematic model is obtained by dividing it into serial …

Tensegrity robots offer several advantageous features, such as being hyper-redundant,
lightweight, shock-resistant, and incorporating wire-driven structures. Despite these benefits …

In that work, they follow Hansen and Jaszkiewicz [1998], who considered the problem of
evaluating approximations to the true Pareto front. For that sake, they define a number of …

This paper presents a novel walking hybrid-kinematics robot that can be reconfigured to
have three, five, and six degrees of freedom (DOFs) for adsorption machining of large …

In this paper, a parallel mechanism with two rotational degrees of freedom is proposed. It
could rotate freely and continuously around the two coordinate axes at the fixed origin of the …

In this paper, we will perform a comparison between two approaches of dimensional
synthesis of parallel robots. The first one concerns the single-objective optimization …

Most motion simulators manufactured today benefit from the use of electric actuators. The
common solution to a heavier payload is a larger actuator. However, this results in higher …
