Performance optimization of parallel manipulators (PMs) have attracted adequate attention
in recent years. It mainly concerns performance indices, optimization algorithms and …

This paper addresses the topological and dimensional synthesis of cable-driven parallel
robots. A combined methodology for type and size optimization is proposed and applied to a …

This article presents a new robot concept dedicated to fast and energy-efficient waste sorting
applications. This parallel robot can provide at the same time the three translations in space …

In this paper, a hybrid algorithm was proposed for multi-objective optimization design with
high efficiency and low computational cost based on the Gaussian process regression and …

Force-feedback devices, along with virtual reality, are being studied for applications related
to entertainment and rehabilitation. These devices generally comprise either direct drive …

This paper introduces a two-stage method based on bio-inspired algorithms for the design
optimization of a class of general Stewart platforms. The first stage performs a mono …

In this paper, a conceptual design of a Delta robot is developed by means of a mechatronic
design methodology. A fully integrated conceptual design, clarifying the recurrence of the …

This work denotes an insight into flexible multibody systems synthesis. In contrast with
classical synthesis approaches, the flexible behaviour of the mechanisms' different bodies is …

Accurate prediction for mechanisms' dynamic responses has always been a challenging
task for designers. For modeling easiness purposes, mechanisms' synthesis and …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an alternative solution for press-fit
technology processes, which could improve the precision of the positioning movements and …
