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 …

Performance evaluation is one of most important issues in the analysis and design of
parallel manipulators. As the counterparts of serial robots, parallel manipulators are mostly …

Generating a defined motion is one of the fundamental tasks for a machine. By definition, a
robot is a universal machine dedicated to creating motion that can be freely programmed. A …

Parallel mechanisms (PMs) are the systems with closed-loop chains. Since they have
advantages of compactness, high speed, high stiffness, high accuracy, high loadto-weight …

This paper treats the problems of kinematics, singularity and workspace analysis of the 5R
symmetrical parallel mechanism. In the design process, the theoretical workspace cannot be …

This paper addresses the general issue of optimal kinematic design of parallel mechanisms.
Optimal design is one of the most challenging issues in the field. To solve the design …

In this paper, a new design method considering a desired workspace and swing range of
spherical joints of a DELTA robot is presented. The design is based on a new concept …

A new class of six-degree-of-freedom (DOFs) spatial parallel platform mechanism is
considered in this paper. The architecture consists of a mobile platform connected to the …

Parallel tool heads with three degrees of freedom (DOFs), namely, two orientational DOFs
and one translational DOF, have become important manufacturing module in the field of …

This paper presents a methodology for the analytical determination and representation of
the workspace boundaries of symmetrical spherical parallel mechanisms (SPMs). The …
