Contact Force Estimation of Continuum Robots without Embedded Sensors: A Review
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.This review surveys methods for estimating contact forces in continuum robots without embedded sensors. It explains why contact force matters, classifies force patterns, and groups existing methods into three approaches based on actuation, deformation, and environment information.

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 A new mathematical model of a 3DOF 2D mechanical system “transported cross‐beam, two moving bridge cranes” has been proposed. Small system oscillations have been derived through the introduction of Lagrange equations. The numerical estimation of 3DOF system motion has been carried out with equation‐based Modelica language.

Evaluation of Two Tension Sensors for Cable‐Driven Parallel Manipulators
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 1191-1208, June 2025.ABSTRACT Cable‐driven parallel manipulators (CDPMs) constitute a class of parallel robots in which the frame is connected to the end‐effector through a set of cables. The weight reduction achieved by replacing rigid links with cables, along with their exceptionally large workspace, makes CDPMs suitable for applications such as positioning devices ...

A Review on Compliant Joint Mechanisms for Lower Limb Exoskeletons
Journal of Robotics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Lower limb exoskeletons are experiencing a rapid development that may suggest a prompt introduction to the market. These devices have an inherent close interaction with the human body; therefore, it is necessary to ensure user’s safety and comfort. The first exoskeletal designs used to represent the human joints as simple revolute joints.

3D Nano‐Printed Bistable Microlens Actuator for Reconfigurable Micro‐Optical Systems
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 48, November 26, 2024.This work investigates the design, fabrication, and characterization of a 3D nano‐printed bistable microlens actuator with magnetic actuation. Using two‐photon polymerization, the device monolithically integrates mechanical and optical components. The actuator offers significant microlens displacement relative to its footprint.

Kinetostatic analysis of assur dyads
Bulletin of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Series: Physics and MathematicsThe core of computer-aided design systems for design and calculation of plane mechanisms is the modular mathematical methods of studying the dynamics of the mechanisms. The most common approach is Multibody Dynamics, where a mechanism is divided into links that are assumed to be rigid bodies.
