The article reviews various designs of parallel robots with a circular guide, which provide the
output link with an unlimited rotation around one of the axes. The paper considers familiar …

This paper presents a unified and generalized approach for the construction of Jacobian
matrices for general, nonredundant parallel manipulators that possess serial and/or mixed …

In this work, a novel 6-DOF parallel manipulator is proposed. The manipulator is designed in
the form of a five-bar spatial linkage with spherical-universal-universal-universal-spherical …

Robot-assisted bone reduction surgery consists in using robots to reposition the bone
fragments into their original place prior to fracture healing. This study presents the …

This article considers an inverse and forward kinematic analysis of a recently proposed
foldable parallel mechanism with a circular rail (FoldRail mechanism). The mechanism has …

Singularity analysis is an important issue in mechanism design, as kinetostatic properties of
a manipulator will undergo a sudden and dramatic change close to singular configurations …

The solution of the dynamic equations of the six-axis accelerometer is a prerequisite for
sensor calibration, structural optimization, and practical application. However, the forward …

This paper presents the complete dynamic model of a new six degrees of freedom (DOF)
spatial 3-RPRS parallel manipulator. The geometry parameters of the manipulator are …

This paper investigates the forward and inverse kinematics in screw coordinates for a planar
slider-crank linkage. According to the definition of a screw, both the angular velocity of a …

This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization to study the forward kinematic
of a solar tracking device which has two rotational and one translational degree of freedom …
