Although many industrial applications have adopted parallel robots, few textbooks introduce
their analysis in terms of dynamics and control. Filling the gap, this book combines the …

In this paper, a 3-degrees-of-freedom parallel manipulator developed by Tsai and Stamper
known as the Maryland manipulator is considered. In order to provide dynamic analysis …

This paper presents a direct and straightforward approach for deriving the kinetic equations
of the planar mechanisms comprising multiple kinematic closed loops. What distinguishes …

The paper presents mathematical modeling and optimal path control of a 3-DOF Maryland
manipulator. Three dissimilar and consecutive paths are taken under observation, and …

Stability of a parallel manipulator is a very important issue due to its high nonlinearity and
vague dynamics. This problem may be overcome by a controller, based on the combination …

In this paper we designed an optimal trajectory generation (OTG) method to generate easy
and errorless continuous path motion with quick converging using Grey Wolf Optimization …

This paper combines a new structure of artificial neural networks (ANNs) with a 3rd-order
numerical algorithm and proposes an improved hybrid method for solving forward …

In control engineering, control processes are regulated to prevent transient shocks to test
rigs. As an important part of the control loop, the reference may be continuous and bounded …

In order to suppress the external disturbances existing in the trajectory tracking process of
the 3-CRU parallel robot, a trajectory tracking control method based on PD+ robust …

This paper deals with the stiffness analysis of multibody systems using the Matrix Structural
Analysis—MSA. This methodology allows us to obtain the stiffness matrix of the structure …
