This paper presents a novel exoskeleton mechanism for finger motion assistance. The
exoskeleton is designed as a serial 2-degrees-of-freedom wearable mechanism that is able …

This paper proposes a parametric synthesis of two different trunk lid mechanisms for sedan
vehicles, incorporating three different population-based optimization techniques: Particle …

This paper studies the problem of geometric constraint acquisition from a given planar
motion task using Fourier descriptor. In the previous work, we established a computational …

This paper illustrates the design and testing of a lower limb exoskeleton for walking
assistance. First, the biomechanics of the human knee and ankle joints during walking and …

Typical leg exoskeletons employ open-loop kinematic chains with motors placed directly on
movable joints; while this design offers flexibility, it leads to increased costs and heightened …

Active exoskeletons have been widely investigated to supplement and restore human hand
movements, but a significant limitation is that they have a complicated design requiring multi …

The design synthesis is the key issue in the mechanical conceptual design to generate the
design candidates that meet the design requirements. This paper devotes to propose a …

The one-degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanism has a simple structure, convenient control,
and high stiffness, and it has been applied in many micro jumping robots. Meanwhile, the six …

The deformed energy method has shown to be a good option for dimensional synthesis of
mechanisms. In this paper the introduction of some new features to such approach is …

Existing research on synthesis methods for single degree-of-freedom (DOF) six-bar linkages
mainly include four or five exact poses. However, an ideal trajectory cannot be synthesized …
