Abstract: A novel methodology for the design of a gravity-balanced serial-type spatial manipulator is presented. In the design, gravity effects of the system can be completely compensated at any configuration. ...

Abstract: With the implementation of just one mechanism, variable topology mechanisms can serve the functions of many mechanisms by changing their topology. These types of mechanisms have raised interest ...

Abstract: A systematic methodology for the design of a statically balanced, single degree-of-freedom planar linkage is presented. This design methodology is based on the concept of conservation of potential ...

Abstract: A methodology based on the concept of kinematic fractionation for the revelation of kinematic characteristics and classification of geared mechanisms is presented. It is shown that structurally ...
