Finite Displacement Screw Operators With Embedded Chasles’ Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid body displacement can be presented with Chasles’ motion by rotating about an axis and translating along the axis. This motion can be implemented by a finite displacement screw operator ...
Posture, Workspace, and Manipulability of the Metamorphic Multifingered Hand With an Articulated Palm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel multifingered hand with an articulated palm that makes the hand adaptable and reconfigurable. The posture of the new multifingered hand is enhanced by the additional ...
Structure Synthesis of Single-Driven Metamorphic Mechanisms Based on the Augmented Assur Groups
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new way of structure composition of single-driven metamorphic mechanisms to develop a systematic and modularized structure synthesis methodology of metamorphic mechanisms based ...
Axis Constraint Analysis and Its Resultant 6R Double-Centered Overconstrained Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the 6R overconstrained mechanisms by looking at an arrangement that axes intersect at two centers with arbitrary intersection-angles. From the close-loop matrix equation ...
Reciprocity-Based Singular Value Decomposition for Inverse Kinematic Analysis of the Metamorphic Multifingered Hand
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With a new type of multifingered hands that raise a new philosophy in the construction and study of a multifingered hand, this paper is a follow-on study of the kinematics of the metamorphic ...
Reconfiguration of Spatial Metamorphic Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates reconfiguration of metamorphic mechanisms as a typical character of topological change of the mechanisms. Metamorphic mechanisms with reconfigurable topology provide changed ...
Dexterous Manipulation of Origami Cartons With Robotic Fingers Based on the Interactive Configuration Space
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the equivalent mechanism structure of origami cartons and for the first time proposes a quantitative model of cartons and the interactive configuration space for folding ...
Compliance Analysis of a Three-Legged Rigidly-Connected Platform Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The platform based vibratory bowl feeders are essential elements in automatic assembly. Taking the bowl feeder as a typical three-legged rigidly connected compliant platform device, this paper ...
Geometric Analysis and Synthesis of the Metamorphic Robotic Hand
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel robotic hand with a metamorphic palm which changes the traditional structure of a robotic hand. Based on this new hand structure, the paper investigates motion of ...
Patterned Bootstrap: A New Method That Gives Efficiency for Some Precision Position Synthesis Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a heuristic global convergence method, termed as patterned bootstrap (PB), for solving systems of equations. In the PB method, multiple directions starting from a given point ...
