This paper presents a compilation of previous studies on the Stewart platform, which is a
class of six degree of freedom parallel manipulators. The abstraction of a parallel …

This paper presents an overview of the literature on kinematic and calibration models of
parallel mechanisms, the influence of sensors in the mechanism accuracy and parallel …

There are hundreds of parallel robot designs, of these, some are suitable for fast material
transfer operations, others for precision positioning, or like Fanuc's hexapod, for …

The calibration is very important to improve the accuracy of the parallel mechanism. This
paper proposed a new calibration approach for the parallel mechanism based on the direct …

The manufacture of large components in various industries can create health, safety and
economic challenges as a result of machining operations. A potential solution is the …

Hexarot is a robotic manipulator that belongs to the family of axis symmetric parallel
mechanisms. The robot is able to move the robot platform or tool center point in six degrees …

Abstract Researchers have studied Stewart–Gough platforms, also known as Gough–
Stewart platforms or hexapod platforms extensively for their inherent fine control …

Abstract Stewart platform-based Parallel Kinematic Machines (PKM) have been extensively
studied by researchers due to their inherent finer control characteristics. This has opened its …

This paper analyses different objective functions for the parameter identification of parallel
mechanisms and studies the influence in the position and orientation errors to improve their …

Portable robotic machine tools potentially allow feature machining processes to be brought
to large parts in various industries, creating an opportunity for capital expenditure and …
