Flexure hinges hold several advantages over classical rotation joints, including no friction
losses, no need for lubrication, no hysteresis, compactness, capacity to be utilized in small …

This extensive review paper, which involves 204 papers, discusses comprehensively a
number of performance indices that are instrumental in the design of parallel kinematics …

In this paper, the sensitivity analysis and kinematic calibration of a modified parallel Delta
robot are presented. The influence of the variations related to the manipulator components …

This paper introduces a novel family of singularity-free kinematically redundant planar
parallel mechanisms that have unlimited rotational capabilities. The proposed mechanisms …

Recent works introduced topology optimization in the design of robots, but the proposed
methodologies led to a local optimization of the performance. Moreover, most of …

The present paper is about a detailed review of planar parallel manipulators. Planar parallel
manipulators have three degrees of freedom, one linear motion along the X-direction, one …

This paper presents a unified approach to predict the accuracy performance of the general
planar parallel manipulators (PPMs) both due to the input uncertainties and the joint …

A model for angular errors in multi-loop structures with joint clearances is established. A
closed-form solution of the model is obtained. By using optimization methods and geometric …

Kinematic calibration is a necessary way to guarantee the accuracy of hybrid machine tools.
The traditional calibration methods have high requirements for the measuring instruments …

Parallel robots are increasingly being used in industry for precise positioning and alignment.
They have the advantage of being rigid, quick, and accurate. With their increasing use …
