Optimal dimensioning is a fundamental problem in the design of Parallel Manipulators
(PMs). However, this problem is revealed to be very hard to solve because many PM …

In this article, we review the dynamic control of parallel kinematic machines. It is shown that
the classical control strategies from serial robotics generally used for parallel kinematic …

Generating a defined motion is one of the fundamental tasks for a machine. By definition, a
robot is a universal machine dedicated to creating motion that can be freely programmed. A …

This paper presents the results of a detailed study of the singular configurations of 3-DOF
planar parallel mechanisms with three identical legs. Only prismatic and revolute joints are …

The primary objective of this dissertation is to demonstrate the incontestable effectiveness of
geometric methods to the design and analysis of parallel mechanisms. To this end, it is …

This paper describes a new parallel kinematic architecture for machining applications: the
orthoglide. This machine features three fixed parallel linear joints which are mounted …

This paper deals with the in-depth kinematic analysis of a special parallel wrist, called the
agile eye. The agile eye is a three-legged spherical parallel robot with revolute joints, in …

In this paper, a method is presented for the synthesis of 3‐R RR planar parallel
mechanisms. The method uses a genetic algorithm while considering three different design …

According to the topological design theory and the method of parallel mechanism (PM)
based on position and orientation characteristic (POC) equations, this paper studied a three …

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the efficiency of five observability indices commonly
used in robot calibration. For illustrative purposes, the study is performed in the case of an …
