Abstract: Unlike a traditional yeaechanism, where typically only the pose of the moving platform is of significance, a shape-morphing mechanism requires additional provisions. Mainly, any covers or skin panels that enclose the ...

Abstract: A new hydraulic circuit is introduced, packaged as a singular component and referred to as a multifunctional flow control (MFC) valve, for usage in conjunction with self-circulating hydraulic cylinders. Unlike conventional ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new design is presented for shape morphing using parameterized curves. Inspired by minimal actuation effort, a multiloop linkage is designed with a single input, allowing a morphing curve to take on three ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is a method for analysis and control of an actuation-redundant parallel mechanism requiring synchronization. The said mechanism is made up of two branches that are connected to drive a common ...
