Abstract: Redundantly actuated parallel manipulators (PMs) receive growing interest due to their reduced singularity and enlarged workspace. This paper proposes new indices for optimal design and analysis of redundantly actuated PMs ...

Abstract: Parallel manipulators (PMs) with redundant actuation are attracting increasing research interest because they have demonstrated improved stiffness and fewer singularities. This paper proposes a new redundantly actuated ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a six degrees-of-freedom manipulator with soft end-effector and an inverse kinematic compensator for aerial contact manipulation. Realizing the fact that aerial manipulators can hardly ...
