This paper presents a novel analytical approach for synthesizing a path-generation
mechanism without any limitation on the number of precision points. Compared with …

A review of the bacterial foraging optimization algorithm used to solve numerical constrained
optimization problems is presented in this paper. After an introduction to the algorithm and …

Although significant advances have been made in mechanism synthesis to find a
mechanism generating a desired motion at its end-effector, no available synthesis methods …

This article proposes an alternative constraint handling technique for the four-bar linkage
path generation problem. The constraint handling technique that is traditionally applied uses …

Dimensional synthesis is a type of inverse problem in linkage kinematics where the
objective is to calculate the linkage dimensions required to achieve prescribed linkage …

This paper presents two‐swim operators to be added to the chemotaxis process of the
modified bacterial foraging optimization algorithm to solve three instances of the synthesis of …

This paper presents a procedure for designing a mechanical training and rehabilitation gait
system centered on ankle trajectories for children with cerebral palsy or any other psycho …

The transformable wheel mechanism of a trifooted mobile service robot determines its
driving performance. Currently, two independent actuators adjust the wheel's three feet …

This work deals with optimizing the synthesis error in an eight‐bar Peaucellier—Lipkin
mechanism, for its dimensional synthesis and applications in load‐lifting machines. A new …
