Journal ArticleDOI
A new class of reconfigurable parallel kinematic machines
TL;DR: In this paper, a reconfigurable modular parallel robot is presented, where the spherical joint which connects each leg to the end-effector is realized as a combination of revolute pairs; a locking system allows one to alternatively fix one of the revolute joints, giving the machine different 3-CPU kinematic configurations which correspond to different types of mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis and Design of a Reconfigurable 3-DoF Parallel Manipulator for Multimodal Tasks
TL;DR: In this paper, a reconfigurable 3-DoF parallel kinematics manipulator is presented, which can change the mobility of its moving platform from pure translation to pure rotation by changing the configuration of a metamorphic universal joint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Configuration-dependent modal analysis of a Cartesian parallel kinematics manipulator: numerical modeling and experimental validation
TL;DR: The elastodynamics of a lower-mobility Parallel Kinematic Machine for pure translational motions is analyzed and the vibrational modes and the natural frequencies of the robot are evaluated as functions of the end effector position inside the workspace.
Journal ArticleDOI
Details on the Design of a Lockable Spherical Joint for Robotic Applications
TL;DR: The paper proposes the mechanical design of a lockable spherical joint, which is designed to be manually or automatically configured in different kinematic solutions, and can be demonstrated that such behavior allows to activate different mobilities of a class of reconfigurable parallel kinematics manipulators.

TL;DR: A newly designed gripper is proposed whose primary goal is to solve in-hand manipulation and an optimized platform that represents the central concept of the proposed grippers is developed, to the aim of evaluating kinematic feasibilities of manipulation of different objects.
