Inverse Kinematics for Upper Limb Compound Movement Estimation in Exoskeleton-Assisted Rehabilitation. [PDF]

open access: yesBiomed Res Int, 2016
Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation (RAR) is relevant for treating patients affected by nervous system injuries (e.g., stroke and spinal cord injury) -- The accurate estimation of the joint angles of the patient limbs in RAR is critical to assess the patient ...

Sliding joints in 3D beams: conserving algorithms using the master-slave approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper proposes two time-integration algorithms for motion of geometrically exact 3D beams under sliding contact conditions. The algorithms are derived using the socalled master–slave approach, in which constraint equations and the related time ...

Dynamic behaviour of planar rigid multi-body systems including revolute joints with clearance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper deals with a general methodology to assess the influence of the clearance size and the friction coefficient on the dynamic response of planar rigid multi-body systems including revolute joints with clearance.

Using Singularities of Parallel Manipulators for Enhancing the Rigid-body Replacement Design Method of Compliant Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThe rigid-body replacement method is often used when designing a compliant mechanism. The stiffness of the compliant mechanism, one of its main properties, is then highly dependent on the initial choice of a rigid-body architecture.

On a Jansen leg with multiple gait patterns for reconfigurable walking platforms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Legged robots are able to move across irregular terrains and those based on 1-degree-of-freedom planar linkages can be energy efficient, but are often constrained by a limited range of gaits which can limit their locomotion capabilities considerably ...

Dimensional synthesis of a spherical parallel manipulator based on the evaluation of global performance indexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this work, the dimensional synthesis of a spherical Parallel Manipulator (PM) with a -1S kinematic chain is presented. The goal of the synthesis is to find a set of parameters that defines the PM with the best performance in terms of workspace ...
