Abstract: Singularity analysis is one of the most important issues in the field of parallel manipulators. An approach for singularity analysis should be able to not only identify all possible singularities ...

Abstract: Because of the increasing demand in industry for A/B-axis tool heads, particularly in thin wall machining applications for structural aluminium aerospace components, the three-degree-of-freedom ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of determining the optimal geometric parameters of a 3-DOF parallel manipulator. One of the advantages of the manipulator is that the moving platform exhibits ...

Abstract: This paper addresses optimal kinematic design of a PRRRP (P-prismatic joint, R-revolute joint) parallel manipulator that is horizontally actuated by linear actuators. Kinematically, the symmetrical ...

Abstract: The spherical 5R parallel manipulator is a typical parallel manipulator. It can be used as a pointing device or as a minimally invasive surgical robot. This study addresses the motion/force ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the design issue of a three-axis tool head with three-PRS parallel kinematics (P, R, and S standing for prismatic, revolute, and spherical joint, respectively) by considering ...
