Parallel manipulators are generally associated with high speed, stiffness, and repeatability.
Nonetheless, after decades of development, their industrial uptake is still limited when …

Parallel-serial (hybrid) manipulators represent robotic systems composed of kinematic
chains with parallel and serial structures. These manipulators combine the benefits of both …

Grippers are essential components of robotic automation, allowing general purpose robots
to perform specialized tasks. This paper aims to design a novel family of 4-DOF hybrid …

In this article, the mechanical design and analysis of a novel three-legged, agile robot with
passively compliant 4-degrees-of-freedom legs, comprising a hybrid topology of serial …

Zero offsets and geometric source errors will significantly degrade the kinematic accuracy of
redundantly actuated parallel manipulators (RAPMs). To relieve the influences of these …

This paper proposes a parallel surgical robot with a remote center of motion, and the
kinematic optimization design is studied. The surgical robot is composed of two branches …

This paper presents the workspace optimization of one-translational two-rotational (1T2R)
parallel manipulators using a dimensionally homogeneous constraint-embedded Jacobian …

The article deals with the research of a novel parallel manipulator with six degrees of
freedom and three kinematic chains. Each chain of the manipulator presents a so-called …

The study provides a solution to a dimensional synthesis problem for a hexapod-type
reconfigurable parallel mechanism, which can change its configuration to realize different …

This paper presents a methodology for the design and control of Parallel Kinematic Robots
(PKRs). First, one focuses on the problematics of design. In particular, given a parallel …
