Abstract: Typically, for pick-and-place robots operating at high speeds, an enormous amount of energy is lost during the robot braking phase. This is due to the fact that, during such operational phase, most of the energy is dissipated ...

Abstract: Parallel robots present singular configurations that divide the operational workspace into several aspects. It was proven that type 2 and leg passive joint twist system (LPJTS) singularities can be crossed with a trajectory ...

Abstract: This article investigates the feasibility of replacing metal robot links by wooden bodies for eco-sustainable design’s purpose. Wood is a material with low environmental impact and a good mass-to-stiffness ratio. However, ...
