Structural design and characteristic analysis for a 4-degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
Previous studies on parallel mechanisms have been limited to symmetrical and semi-symmetrical parallel robots. However, there is relatively little research on asymmetrical parallel robot, especially on asymmetrical parallel robots with 4 degrees of ...

Direct Kinematics Solution of 3-RCC Parallel Robot using a Semi-Analytical Homotopy Method [PDF]

International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2019
Parallel robots are closed-loop mechanisms presenting very good performances in terms of accuracy, rigidity, and the ability to manipulate large loads. Inverse kinematics problem for most parallel robots is straightforward, while the direct kinematics is

An Efficient Stochastic Constrained Path Planner for Redundant Manipulators

Applied Sciences, 2021
This brief proposes a novel stochastic method that exploits the particular kinematics of mechanisms with redundant actuation and a well-known manipulability measure to track the desired end-effector task-space motion in an efficient manner. Whilst closed-

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

How Do Humans Recognize the Motion Arousal of Non-Humanoid Robots?

Applied Sciences
As non-humanoid robots develop and become more involved in human life, emotional communication between humans and robots will become more common. Non-verbal communication, especially through body movements, plays a significant role in human–robot ...

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Efficient kinematic solution to a multi-robot with serial and parallel mechanisms [PDF]

2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
This paper presents an efficient kinematical solution to a multi-robot system with serial and parallel mechanisms. JL-I is a reconfigurable robot featuring active spherical joints formed by serial and parallel mechanisms endowing the robotic system with the ability of changing shapes in three dimensions. The active joint here can combine the advantages
