RISA Kirigami-Inspired Metamorphic Double-Loop Linkage With Multiple Single-Degree-of-Freedom Reconfiguration Branches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reconfigurable mechanisms attract increasing attention for the characteristic to change structure configurations and motion behaviors in various multifunctional systems. By drawing inspiration from a kirigami fold, this ...
Design and Kinematic Analysis of a 3RRlS Metamorphic Parallel Mechanism for Large-Scale Reconfigurable Space Multifingered Hand
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Capturing noncooperative targets in space has great prospects for aerospace application. In this work, the knuckle unit of a large-scale reconfigurable space multifingered hand (LSRSMFH) for multitask requirements is ...
Kinematics, Dynamics, and Experiments of n(3RRlS) Reconfigurable Series–Parallel Manipulators for Capturing Space Noncooperative Targets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The kinematics and dynamics of n(3RRlS) reconfigurable series–parallel manipulators (RSPMs) are the theoretical foundations for capturing noncooperative targets in space. In this study, a unified kinematic and dynamic ...
Actuation Arrangement of Rigid Foldable Waterbomb Origami
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel approach is proposed to arrange the actuations of rigid foldable waterbomb origami with multiple facet loops such that the number of actuations equaled the degrees-of-freedom (DOF) of the origami. In this approach, ...
A Transformation Method to Generate the Workspace of an n(3RRS) Serial–Parallel Manipulator
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a transformation method to generate the workspace of an n(3RRS) serial–parallel manipulator (S–PM). Firstly, the boundary of the workspace of the 3RRS parallel manipulator (PM) is obtained using the ...
