Abstract: The paper presents the position analysis of a spatial structure composed of two platforms mutually connected by one RRP and three SS serial kinematic chains, where R, P, and S stand for ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the sensitivity analysis of 3-RP R planar parallel manipulators (PPMs). First, the sensitivity coefficients of the pose of the manipulator moving platform to variations in ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new robust design method to dimension a mechanism and to synthesize its dimensional tolerances. The general issue is to find a robust mechanism for a given task, and ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the conditions in the design parameter space for the existence and distribution of the cusp locus for planar parallel manipulators. Cusp points make possible nonsingular ...

Abstract: In this paper, two complementary methods are introduced to analyze the sensitivity of a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) translational parallel kinematic machine (PKM) with orthogonal linear joints: ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the singularity analysis of parallel manipulators with identical limb structures performing Schönflies motions, namely, three independent translations and one rotation ...
