Parallel manipulators, also called parallel kinematics machines (PKM), enable robotic
solutions for highly dynamic handling and machining applications. The safe and accurate …

This article proposes a numerical method for the kinematic path modeling of retractable roof
structures based on the concept of kirigami. The kinematics of origami structures have been …

This paper presents a three Degrees of Freedom (DOFs) parallel manipulator with no
rotational capacity. Planar kinematic pairs (revolute joint and prismatic joint) are exclusively …

Kinematic singularities of linkages are configurations where the differential mobility
changes. Constraint singularities are critical points of the constraint map** defining the …

The wrench-closure workspace of parallel cable-driven mechanisms is the set of poses of
their mobile platform for which the cables can balance any external wrench. The …

In this paper, a new family of parallel manipulators called PAMINSA is presented. The
particularity of these manipulators is the decoupling of the displacements of the platform in …

We experimentally study the widths of resonances in a two-dimensional microwave cavity at
room temperature. By develo** a model for the coupling antennas, we are able to …

Serial and parallel manipulators can be used in different manipulative tasks when their
peculiarities in kinematic and dynamic behaviours are properly considered from the design …

This paper first designs a new 5-DOF parallel mechanism with 5PUS-UPU, and then
analyses its DOF by traditional Grubler–Kutzbach and motion spiral theory. It theoretically …

Kinematic singularities of robot manipulators are configurations in which there is a change in
the expected or typical number of instantaneous degrees of freedom. This idea can be made …
