Next, we solve the direct and inverse kinematic models based on the kinematic modelling principle using the topological features. The models are purely analytic and are broken down into a series...

... with respect to the vehicle chassis, according to the kinematic characteristics of the double wishbone independent suspension mechanism. Moreover, a suitable mechanism with 18 members and 1 d.o.f. is proposed to generate mechanically or by using any CAD-software, both centrodes, according to the direct...

... Abstract A large class of parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM) possess complex limbs, i.e. limbs that comprise kinematic loops. This paper addresses the modeling of PKM with complex limbs with a single closed loops. The best known representative is the Delta robot. A systematic approach...

..., and the reduced visibility of the incision. The paper presents the modeling and simulation of a new parallel robot concept with 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF), called PARA-SILSROB used for the single incision laparoscopic surgery. The paper focuses on the inverse kinematics, the preliminary design, and the robot...

... Abstract While many classical origami tessellations possess important kinematic properties, including flat-foldability and rigid-foldability, these patterns only possess one DOF. Stacking sheets of these origami tessellations is a fabrication technique to construct foldable meta-materials...

... Abstract Robot kinematics generally includes forward and inverse kinematics at the position, velocity, and acceleration level. These constructs are essential for the cartesian control of serial manipulators. This paper presents the development of a C++ class library that supports the forward...

.... Since closed form inverse kinematics solutions are not available for the multiple degree-of-freedom spatial mechanism in question, symbolic and numerical computation techniques are used extensively for kinematics analysis, dimension design, and optimization. In addition, mechanical design and simulation...

... Abstract The gait transition models of a quadruped are studied based on gait kinematics and CMAC neural networks are applied to learn and generalize these gait transition models. Three gait transition cases are studied: from wave gait to continuous follow-the-leader gait, from walk to trot...
