Parallel manipulators are generally associated with high speed, stiffness, and repeatability.
Nonetheless, after decades of development, their industrial uptake is still limited when …

Parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKM) have received particular attention due to their higher
stiffness, increased payload capacity, and agility, when compared to their serial …

This paper presents a case study on a reconfigurable hybrid parallel robot dubbed ReSl-Bot.
It addresses the realm of reconfigurable 6-DOF parallel mechanisms, for sustainable …

Kinematic analysis is one of the key issues in the research domain of parallel kinematic
manipulators. It includes inverse kinematics and forward kinematics. Contrary to a serial …

Control of closed-kinematic chain manipulators (CKCM) with uncertain dynamics is a
tremendous challenge due to the synchronization among actual joints and end-effectors …

Accuracy is greatly affected by the nonlinear motion of hexapods. This need is more
apparent when these mechanisms are employed in machining industry where precision and …

The development of high-precision tasks, such as machining, needs a positioning device for
the cutting tool with the smallest possible error. Multiple design factors need to be …

The objective of the research project was to design and construct a 3DOF tripod-type electro-
pneumatic parallel manipulator that could be used for pick-and-place tasks in municipal …

Abstract A Conventional Parallel Manipulator (CPM) usually uses a rigid moving platform as
the end-effector to connect serial legs. Since serial legs independently support the platform …

This paper introduces a new concept of applying a parallel mechanism in automated fiber
placement (AFP) for aerospace part manufacturing. By investigating the system …
