Abstract: The Stewart platform is a six-degree-of-freedom, in-parallel linkage. It is used in automotive and flight simulators, positioning tables for assembly and robotic applications, and various other ...

Abstract: Problems in mechanisms analysis and synthesis and robotics lead naturally to systems of polynomial equations. This paper reviews the state of the art in the solution of such systems of equations. ...

Abstract: This paper elaborates on a method developed by the authors for solving the inverse kinematics of a general 6R manipulator. The method is shown to be applicable to determining the joint variables ...

Abstract: In this paper we first derive the coordinate transformations associated with a three-degree-of-freedom in-parallel-actuated micro-manipulator. Then we combine these results with the transformations ...
