Abstract: This paper proposes a method to find the preferable workspace for fatigue life improvement of robots with flexible joints under percussive riveting. The development is motivated by the growing interest in using industrial ...

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 loading mechanism for a variable cant angle morphing winglet is proposed in this paper. The mechanism provides a method of loading a morphing winglet with the simulated aerodynamic lift force by maintaining its application ...

Abstract: A method for optimizing a mobile platform to form a wheeled manipulator is presented. For a given manipulator, this mobile platform is optimized to have maximum tip-over stability against the reaction forces and moments ...

Abstract: A loading mechanism for a variable cant angle morphing winglet is proposed in this paper. The mechanism provides a method of loading a morphing winglet with the simulated aerodynamic lift force by maintaining its application ...

Abstract: A method is presented for slip analysis of a wheeled mobile manipulator. The said system consists of an industrial manipulator mounted on a mobile platform performing aircraft manufacturing tasks. Unlike tracked/legged ...

Abstract: In response to the ever-increasing demand of community-based rehabilitation, a novel smart rehab walker iReGo is designed to facilitate the lower limb rehabilitation training based on motion intention recognition. The ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is a method for modeling and simulation of a complete morphing mechanism. The said mechanism has a rigid panel morphing skin that morphs along with a driving mechanism. The said skin is made of ...

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 ...
