Efficient and precise processing of large-scale parts is an uprising problem in industry. In
this paper, a method to polish large-scale wind turbine blades using hybrid mobile robots is …

The reconfigurable legged mobile lander (ReLML) integrates both landing and walking
modes, promising to be employed in the future extraterrestrial exploration as a counterpart of …

Accuracy is one of the most important properties for manipulators, and sensitivity analysis
combined with tolerance allocation is usually used for ensuring their accuracy in the design …

In this paper, the 3-RRR spherical parallel manipulator (SPM) of co-axis input is redesigned
with reconfigurability. By utilizing a simple four-bar linkage, the SPM is able to change …

A novel family of extendable kinematic chains, termed dual scissor-like mechanisms (D-
SLiM), is proposed in this paper. The chains, which generally have two translational degrees …

This paper deals with the constraint-based design, optimum design and reconfiguration
strategy of a 3-RPS parallel manipulator. Some design conditions related to the base and …

Metamorphic mechanisms are capable of changing their mobility by changing the number of
effective joints and links under geometrical constraints. In this paper, a new approach in …

This paper focuses on the reconfiguration of a 3-(rR) PS metamorphic parallel mechanism
based on complete workspace and operation mode analysis. The mechanism consists of …

Motion/force transmissibility is an essential property reflecting the kinematic performance of
parallel robots. Research on this performance of the single-platform parallel robots (SPPRs) …

It is well known that Remote Center of the motion (RCM) mechanisms are highly suitable for
many medical applications. While it is sometimes preferable that the mechanism can control …
