This paper proposes a user requirements-oriented baby stroller design method centered on
finding the best combination of functions. First, user requirements are gathered, analyzed …

We present a method for the design optimization of a soft, inflatable robot. The method
described utilizes a multi-objective fitness function together with custom, platform-specific …

Background In robotic surgical systems, commercial master devices have limitations owing
to insufficient workspace and lack of intuitiveness. To overcome these limitations, a remote …

Redundant manipulators can accomplish complex tasks due to the redundant degree of
freedom (DOF). At the same time, their kinematics calculations are complicated. In this study …

This paper presents and defines a new design optimization method for kinematic redundant
robot manipulators based on their applications. Kinematic redundant manipulators can …

Within the Multi-Platform Inspection, Maintenance and Repair in Extreme Environments
(MIMRee) project, a lightweight and multifunctional robotic repair arm is created for wind …

Soft robotic systems are becoming increasingly popular as they are generally safer, lighter,
and easier to manufacture than their more rigid, traditional counterparts. These advantages …

Concentric tube robots belong to the class of continuum robotic systems whose morphology
is described by continuous tangent curvature vectors. They are composed of multiple …

In order to improve the quality and efficiency of hedge trimming, a research of a four-degree-
of-freedom trimming manipulator is carried out in this paper. The global kinematic …

The use of robotic manipulators in industry has grown in the last decades to improve and
speed up industrial processes. Industrial manipulators started to be investigated for …
