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

This paper proposes a method to design reconfigurable parallel mechanisms by applying
reconfigurable platforms. According to the requirements of convenience and reliability, the …

This paper investigates a new reconfigurable parallel mechanism consisting of three S v PS
kinematic limbs. Induced by phase changes of a metamorphic spherical variable-axis joint …

The novelty of this paper is the adjustable workspace and torque capacity of a compliant
ankle rehabilitation robot (CARR). The robot has three rotational degrees of freedom (DOFs) …

This paper analyzes the electromechanical characteristics of a novel shell-like spherical
induction machine with multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF), formed by a shell stator and a …

Parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs) are increasingly used in a wide range of industrial
applications due to the characteristics of high accuracy and compact structure. However …

Reconfigurable parallel mechanisms (RPMs) have the advantages of high stiffness, good
dynamic performance due to their parallel structures, and can reconfigure themselves into …

This paper presents a planar metamorphic mechanism (PMM) which has three distinct
working phases and a family of metamorphic parallel mechanisms with a PMM as closed …

This paper presents a metamorphic parallel mechanism (MPM) which can switch its motion
between pure translation (3T) and pure rotation (3R). This feature stems from a …

This paper studies the output performance improvement of the spherical multi-degree-of-
freedom (multi-DOF) motor. The multi-DOF motor is a motor that is designed to drive in …
