Parallel manipulators are generally associated with high speed, stiffness, and repeatability.
Nonetheless, after decades of development, their industrial uptake is still limited when …

This paper addresses the architecture optimization of a three-degree-of-freedom
translational parallel mechanism designed for machining applications. The design …

This paper deals with the conceptual design and optimal dimensional synthesis of a novel 2-
DOF translational parallel robot for pick-and-place operations. In a conceptual design …

This paper deals with the conceptual design and dimensional synthesis of a 3-DOF parallel
mechanism module which forms the main body of a newly invented 5-DOF reconfigurable …

Presents a simple yet comprehensive approach that enables the stiffness of a tripod-based
parallel kinematic machine to be quickly estimated. The approach arises from the basic idea …

The dimensional synthesis remains a capital phase in the optimal design of the parallel
robots. In this article, we propose a methodology of the dimensional synthesis where the …

Classical cartesian kinematics Machining Center (MC) structures are compared with parallel
kinematics hexapods (HX) structures from the point of view of workspace, stiffness, accuracy …

This paper presents a hybrid method for the optimum kinematic design of two-degree-of-
freedom (2-DOF) parallel manipulators with mirror symmetrical geometry. By taking …

In this paper, we study the isotropic design of two types of spatial parallel manipulators: a
three-degrees-of-freedom manipulator and the Stewart—Gough platform. The isotropic …

A novel 5-axis hybrid reconfigurable robot named Tricept-IV, including one 4-degree-of-
freedom (4DOF) hybrid module and one 2DOF end effector, is investigated. Compared with …
