This paper addresses metamorphic and reconfigurable mechanisms based on types of
morphing and ways of achieving it through a comprehensive review and a classification of …

This paper introduces a new metamorphic parallel mechanism based on a reconfigurable
revolute (rR) joint and the mechanism consists of three rRPS (rR joint-prismatic joint …

This paper presents two integrated planar-spherical overconstrained mechanisms that are
inspired and evolved from origami cartons with a crash-lock base. Investigating the crash …

This paper proposes a method to design reconfigurable parallel mechanisms by applying
reconfigurable platforms. According to the requirements of convenience and reliability, the …

This paper presents a unique feature of geometric constraint of adjacent axes of the variable-
axis (vA) joint and analyses the effectiveness in the constructed limb, resulting in variation of …

This paper investigates a new reconfigurable parallel mechanism consisting of three S v PS
kinematic limbs. Induced by phase changes of a metamorphic spherical variable-axis joint …

This paper investigates novel reconfigurable parallel mechanisms with bifurcation between
planar subgroup SE (2) and rotation subgroup SO (3) based on a transformation …

This paper focuses on a diamond kinematotropic chain which is integrated in the
construction of a new family of reconfigurable parallel mechanisms. The branch transition of …

Rigid body displacement can be presented with Chasles' motion by rotating about an axis
and translating along the axis. This motion can be implemented by a finite displacement …

This paper presents a novel approach for synthesizing metamorphic parallel mechanisms
with an ability of reconfiguring motion between 1R2T and 2R1T based on quotient operation …
