Abstract: This technical brief presents the operational envelope for the spatial Stewart platform and dome of a six degree of freedom driving simulator, extending prior work that has been limited to ...

Abstract: A formulation is presented for defining domains of mobility for a planar convex body moving with three degrees-of-freedom among convex planar obstacles. Applications included are determination of ...

Abstract: The set of all points in space that are occupied by points in the working body of a mechanism or manipulator, for some kinematically admissible configuration, is defined as its operational ...

Abstract: Working capability analysis of planar and spatial Stewart platforms with unilateral constraints on actuator length is carried out using numerical methods based on analytical criteria for the ...

Abstract: Numerical algorithms for mapping boundaries of manipulator workspaces are developed and illustrated. Analytical criteria for boundaries of workspaces for both manipulators having the same number ...
