This paper proposes a geometric method via isosceles trapezoids or isosceles trapezoidal
prisms (ITP) to approximate a smooth planar curve or a cylinder. The method is then …

This article presents the Origaker, a novel multi-mimicry quadruped robot. Based on a single-
loop spatial metamorphic mechanism, the Origaker is able to transform between different …

Type synthesis methods of parallel mechanisms or metamorphic mechanisms have drawn
rising interest for mechanism designers. However, existing synthesis approaches cannot …

This paper presents a class of single degree-of-freedom (DOF) grasping manipulators (GMs)
with multi-finger design composed of multiple single-loop mechanisms. A method is …

While being extensively researched in literature, overconstrained linkages' engineering
potential is yet to be explored. This study investigates the design of overconstrained …

This paper presents an innovative method to construct reconfigurable Generalized Parallel
Manipulators (GPMs) through the integration of kinematotropic single-loop linkages and …

Thick-panel deployable structures have great engineering prospects in aerospace large-
scale structures. However, achieving any desired shape of the deployable structure without …

This paper investigates configuration switch and path selection of novel reconfigurable
parallel mechanisms with two double-four-bar modular linkages in terms of subgroups SE …

Aiming at the construction method and theoretical analysis of deployable mechanism, the
construction method of loop-construction mechanism based on quadrilateral mechanisms …

Reconfigurable parallel mechanisms were first discovered in response to the growing
demand for flexible and adaptive systems in various fields. Unlike traditional mechanisms …
