RISA Double-Layered Elbow Exoskeleton Interface With 3-PRR Planar Parallel Mechanism for Axis Self-Alignment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designing a mechanism for elbow self-axis alignment requires the elimination of undesirable joint motion and tissue elasticity. The novelty of this work lies in proposing a double-layered interface using a 3-PRR planar ...
Forward Kinematics Solution Distribution and Analytic Singularity Free Workspace of Linear Actuated Symmetrical Spherical Parallel Manipulators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new kinematics model for linearactuated symmetrical spherical parallel manipulators (LASSPMs) which are commonly used considering their symmetrical kinematics and dynamics properties. The model has ...
Variable Motion/Force Transmissibility of a Metamorphic Parallel Mechanism With Reconfigurable 3T and 3R Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a metamorphic parallel mechanism (MPM) which can switch its motion between pure translation (3T) and pure rotation (3R). This feature stems from a reconfigurable Hooke (rT) joint of which one of the ...
Unified Kinematics and Singularity Analysis of a Metamorphic Parallel Mechanism With Bifurcated Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a new metamorphic parallel mechanism consisting of four reconfigurable rTPS limbs. Based on the reconfigurability of the reconfigurable Hooke (rT) joint, the rTPS limb has two phases while in one phase ...
Feasibility Design and Control of a Lower Leg Gait Emulator Utilizing a Mobile 3-Revolute, Prismatic, Revolute Parallel Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design and control of lower extremity robotic prostheses are iterative tasks that would greatly benefit from testing platforms that would autonomously replicate realistic gait conditions. This paper presents the design of ...
