Abstract: Using the method of line coordinates, the input-output displacement equation of the RPRCRR six-link spatial mechanism is obtained as an algebraic equation of 16th order. For each set of the ...

Abstract: By the method of line coordinates, the input-output displacement equation of the RRCCR five-link spatial mechanism is obtained as an eighth-order polynomial in the half tangent of the output ...

Abstract: In this paper we propose the use of a probabilistic-based design model as a basis for providing the flexibility in a design process that allows designs to be readily adapted to changing ...

Abstract: The concept of screw coordinates is developed in terms of motor algebra, and applied to the kinematics and statics of rigid bodies, in particular to the computer-aided motion analysis of spatial ...

Abstract: The basic concepts of screw coordinates described in Part I are applied to the numerical kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms. The techniques are illustrated with reference to the displacement, ...

Abstract: Robotic manipulators provide general, programmable motion paths and force functions to carry out processes of a high level of dexterity and flexibility. These systems are characterized by several ...
