Abstract: This paper proposes a novel, reconfigurable parallel kinematics machine with three degrees of freedom that can be used for various three-axis manipulation tasks, including machining. By locking some joints, the proposed ...

Abstract: In this paper, the modeling, design, and characterization of the passive discrete variable stiffness joint (pDVSJ-II) are presented. The pDVSJ-II is an extended proof of concept of a passive revolute joint with discretely ...
