Abstract: This paper presents a new method for the combined topological and geometric reconfiguration of a parallel robot to achieve taskbased reconfiguration. Using the existing structure of a six degreeoffreedom (DOF) parallel ...

Abstract: A new hydraulic circuit is introduced, packaged as a singular component and referred to as a multifunctional flow control (MFC) valve, for usage in conjunction with self-circulating hydraulic cylinders. Unlike conventional ...

Abstract: A method is presented for tip-over stability analysis of a wheeled mobile manipulator. A wheeled mobile manipulator may tip over resulting from its operation. In this study, first a Newton–Euler formulation is applied to ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new design is presented for shape morphing using parameterized curves. Inspired by minimal actuation effort, a multiloop linkage is designed with a single input, allowing a morphing curve to take on three ...
