The human brain contains approximately 60 billion cerebellar granule cells, which
outnumber all other brain neurons combined. Classical theories posit that a large, diverse …

In motor neuroscience, state changes are hypothesized to time-lock neural assemblies
coordinating complex movements, but evidence for this remains slender. We tested whether …

Five-bar planar parallel robots for pick and place operations are always designed so that
their singularity loci are significantly reduced. In these robots, the length of the proximal links …

In this letter, we present an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robot
for bilateral stereotactic procedures. Its compact design enables robot's operation within the …

A method for joint trajectory planning of kinematically redundant parallel manipulators is
presented in this paper. The method is based on the use of feasibility maps that allow the …

Summary Background Endoscopic Endonasal Transsphenoidal Surgery (EETS) is the
standard method to treat pituitary adenoma, tumor in the pituitary gland which would affect …

Parallel mechanisms usually have several direct kinematic solutions that are attributed to
different assembly modes (AMs) or postures. The present investigation deals with AM …

In this paper, an optimal kinematic design method for symmetrical five-bar planar parallel
manipulators is presented. The proposed design method is implemented in two steps. First …

This paper deals with the stiffness analysis of multibody systems using the Matrix Structural
Analysis—MSA. This methodology allows us to obtain the stiffness matrix of the structure …

This paper introduces the design, structure and control method of a five-bar planar
mechanism with five revolute joints and two degrees of freedom. The control is realized by …
