In this paper, a method to identify compliant tensegrity structures with multiple states of self-
equilibrium is described. The considered algorithm is based on the repeated use of a form …

This paper presents a novel end-effector designed for a teleoperation type robotic system to
perform automated sampling for needle biopsies. The objectives of the robotic system are to …

Redundancy in cable-driven parallel robots provides additional degrees of freedom that can
be used to achieve different objectives. In this robot, this degree of freedom is used to act on …

Tensegrity mechanisms are lighter weight, lower inertial force and higher strength to weight
ratio compared with conventional ones. This paper proposes a four-DOF automatic device …

Compared with the strongly-coupled parallel mechanism, the weakly-coupled mechanism
can realize two kinds of mutually independent motions. In this paper, a new method for type …

In the aerospace field, the precision and stiffness for 2R1T (R denotes the rotation and the T
denotes the translation) degree of freedom (DOF) space posture adjustment mechanisms …

In this letter, we explore the shape control of compliant, articulated meshes created from
shape memory alloy (SMA)-based linear actuators (Active Cells). These compliant meshes …

This paper describes a method to identify compliant tensegrity structures with multiple states
of self-equilibrium. The considered algorithm is based on the repeated use of a form-finding …

The design and control of underwater robots have to handle with underwater conditions very
different from those found on ground. The common methodology for their testing begins with …
