Journal ArticleDOI
Special configurations of spatial mechanisms and robot arms
TL;DR: In this paper, a general method was developed for determining special configurations of all single-loop mechanisms, and a simple result which has important practical application is deduced; when all the screws representing the instantaneous motion of a robot arm are reciprocal to a common screw or screw, then the end effector cannot have free instantaneous movement parallel to the axis or axes of the reciprocal screws.
Journal ArticleDOI
Series-parallel dualities in actively coordinated mechanisms
TL;DR: A deep symmetry between serial chain manipulators and fully parallel systems such as the Stewart platform is shown to be a result of the well-known duality of motion screw axes and wrenches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assembly configurations of some in-parallel-actuated manipulators
Kenneth H. Hunt,E.J.F Primrose +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a movable body is connected to a base by six ball-joint-ended rods, and the question is: given the six rod-lengths, in how many can the structure be assembled?
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometry of screw systems—1: Screws: Genesis and geometry
C. G. Gibson,Kenneth H. Hunt +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present all possible linear combinations of given instantaneous screws in projective five-space, and prove that screw systems can be expressed in terms of lines and screws.
