Abstract: Single degree-of-freedom coupled serial chain (SDCSC) mechanisms are a class of mechanisms that can be realized by coupling successive joint rotations of a serial chain linkage, by way of gears ...

Abstract: This special issue focuses on the following topic areas: (i) Biomimetics and locomotion, (ii) mobile vehicles, (iii) human-robot systems and haptic interfaces, and (iv) novel systems modeling and ...

Abstract: Single Degree-of-freedom Coupled Serial Chain (SDCSC) mechanisms form a novel class of modular and compact mechanisms with a single degree-of-freedom, suitable for a number of manipulation tasks. ...

Abstract: The dimensional synthesis of a spatial two revolute jointed dyad for path following tasks with applications to coupled serial chain mechanisms is presented. The precision point synthesis equations ...

Abstract: This paper presents the methodology for user-customized design of a class of one-of-a-kind assistive devices. This class consists of passive, articulated mechanical manipulation aids, which are ...
