In this work the kinematics and dynamics of a 4-PRUR parallel manipulator with actuated
prismatic joints performing the 3T1R motion are investigated by means of the theory of …

Abstract The novel mechanism Active Ankle features three degrees of freedom that operate
in an almost spherical manner. In comparison to spherical devices, its design offers …

This work describes a novel robot manipulator with configurable platform. Three internal
degrees-of-freedom are added for controlling the relative orientation of the terminal links …

The mechanical structure known as Stewart–Gough platform is the most representative
parallel robot with a wide variety of applications in many areas. Despite the intensive study …

The micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) dynamic inclinometer integrates a tri-axis
gyroscope and a tri-axis accelerometer for real-time tilt measurement. The Stewart platform …

The Delta robot is one of the most popular parallel robots in industrial use today. In this
paper we analyse the forward and inverse kinematics of the robot from a geometric …

The ankle is a complex joint with a high injury incidence. Rehabilitation Robotics applied to
the ankle is a very active research field. We present the kinematics and statics of a cable …

Large diameter space deployable antenna is the key equipment for communication and data
transmission between spacecraft and base stations on earth. Based on the overconstrained …

This work reports on the kinematic analysis of a planar parallel manipulator endowed with a
configurable platform assembled with six terminal links serially connected by means of …

Abstract Space robotics is taken as one of the most promising approaches for on-orbit
servicing missions. The underactuated non-holonomic parallel mechanism is a new …
