Jacobian Analysis of Limited-DOF Parallel Manipulators

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a methodology for the Jacobian analysis of limited degrees-of-freedom (DOF) parallel manipulators, which is defined as a spatial parallel manipulator with less than six degrees of freedom.

An Investigation of the Intrinsic Force Sensing Capabilities of Continuum Robots

TL;DR: The presented study allows force sensing in challenging environments where placing force sensors at the distal end of a robot is not possible due to limitations such as size and MRI compatibility.

Structure Synthesis of a Class of 4-DoF and 5-DoF Parallel Manipulators with Identical Limb Structures

TL;DR: A systematic approach is developed for the structural synthesis of a class of four-degrees-of-freedom and 5-DoF overconstrained parallel manipulators with identical serial limbs using the theory of screws and reciprocal screws.

Singularity Analysis of 3-DOF Planar Parallel Mechanisms via Screw Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the singular configurations of 3-DOF planar parallel mechanisms with three identical legs is presented, where only prismatic and revolute joints are considered.

Kinematics and Optimization of a Spatial 3-UPU Parallel Manipulator

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural characteristics associated with parallel manipulators are investigated and a class of 3 degree-of-freedom (3-UPUF) manipulators with only translational degrees of freedom are identified.
