Type synthesis of mechanisms aims to systematically determine all possible structures for a
specific mobility requirement. Numerous methods based on different theories were …

Treatments for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) can alleviate blood pressure (BP) gradients (Δ),
but long-term morbidity still exists that can be explained by altered indices of hemodynamics …

There are usually several motion patterns having the same degrees of freedom (DOF). For
example, planar motion, spherical motion, and spatial translation are motion patterns with 3 …

The two-limb 1 parallel mechanisms (PMs) can have the advantages, in terms of avoidance
of mechanical collision, simple architecture, rapid configuration transformation and large …

This paper presents the explicit map** relations between topological structure and
position and orientation characteristic (POC) of mechanism motion output. It deals with (1) …

SP-equivalent parallel mechanisms are the parallel counterparts of the 4-DOF SP serial
manipulators, which are composed of one S (spherical) and one P (prismatic) joint. Using …

This paper presents a novel method of structural synthesis and analysis of serial–parallel
hybrid mechanisms with spatial multi-loop kinematic chains based on the displacement …

The article proposes an approach for synthesizing hybrid (parallel-serial) manipulators with
five degrees of freedom (5-DOF) using open kinematic chains. The method idea consists in …

Parallel mechanisms (PMs) with two rotational degrees-of-freedom (DOF) and one
translational DOF (2R1T) have gained much attention, in view of their good comprehensive …

The research on type synthesis of parallel mechanisms (PMs) attracted adequate attention
with the development of several distinctive methodologies in the robotics area. As the …
