This paper presents a review of the literature related to the use of redundancy in parallel
mechanisms. Two types of redundancies are considered, namely, actuation redundancy and …

Parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKM) have received particular attention due to their higher
stiffness, increased payload capacity, and agility, when compared to their serial …

A novel backdrivable 3-[R (R RR RR) SR] kinematically redundant (6+ 3)-degree-of-freedom
(DOF) spatial hybrid parallel robot with revolute actuators is proposed for low-impedance …

Due to the property of multiple solutions, redundant robot manipulators are usually required
to simultaneously achieve multiple objectives in complex applications. The research of …

This paper introduces a novel architecture of kinematically redundant parallel mechanisms.
This family of mechanisms is similar to the well-known Gough-Stewart platform, and it retains …

Efficient and precise processing of large-scale parts is an uprising problem in industry. In
this paper, a method to polish large-scale wind turbine blades using hybrid mobile robots is …

This article reviews the literature on the design of robotic mechanical grippers, with a focus
on the mechanical aspects, which are believed to be the main bottleneck for effective …

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 …

This paper introduces two general architectures of kinematically redundant planar parallel
mechanisms. Their kinematic models are analyzed, an analytic workspace determination …

A novel 3-[R (RR-RRR) SR] kinematically redundant 6+ 3-degree-of-freedom (dof) spatial
hybrid parallel robot with revolute actuators is proposed. The kinematic model is developed …
