Mechanism synthesis has been used in various applications. Nevertheless, the approach to
synthesize any mechanism becomes challenging due to large number of precision points …

Introduction: Although there is a need for rehabilitation treatment with the increase in the
aging population, the shortage of skilled physicians frustrates this necessity. Robotic …

Four-bar linkages are one of the most widely used mechanisms in industries. This paper
presents a comparative study on the accuracy and efficiency of the optimum synthesis of …

This paper deals with the kinematic modeling and optimal design of compliant mechanisms
with one flexible joint designed from a rigid four-bar linkage. An equivalent mechanism is …

Four-bar mechanisms are widespread in industrial and quotidian applications, but their
design requires deep knowledge and experience in Mechanisms and Machine Theory. In …

Stroke has become one of the leading causes of lower limb paresis. Costing the patients, a
fortune for its diagnosis and prognosis. Clinical experimentations have proven that one can …

In this paper, the dimensional synthesis of the four-bar mechanism for path generation is
formulated using the relative angle motion analysis and the link geometry parameterization …

This paper proposes a novel metaphor-less optimization algorithm which makes use of
maximum and minimum values obtained in the current candidate group and their interaction …

The paper presents a new mechanism for an index finger rehabilitation device. The
mechanism was designed based on a pre-specified trajectory obtained by performing …

An optimal multi-linked knee joint design is proposed for lower limb wearable robots. The
multi-linked knee joint combines a four-bar link and a six-bar link. The four-bar link mimics …
