To design the engineering prototype of reconfigurable legged mobile lander (ReLML) for
strong geometry-physical interaction with extraterrestrial environment, this paper proposes a …

This article introduces a novel class of 6-DOF foldable parallel mechanisms with a circular
rail—FoldRail mechanisms. The circular rail allows the mechanisms to perform an unlimited …

In this work, the kinematics of a three degrees of freedom parallel manipulator able to
execute two independent translations and one independent decoupled rotation is …

RRR spherical parallel mechanisms (SPMs) have been extensively studied due to their
numerous applications. Substantial effort has been devoted to their forward kinematics (FK) …

To explore hostile extraterrestrial landforms and construct an engineering prototype, this
paper presents the task-oriented topology system synthesis of reconfigurable legged mobile …

Mechanism is a device to transmit and convert motion, force, and energy. However, for a
long time, the structural synthesis methodology using the instantaneity and continuity based …

This paper presents a mobility and applied load-oriented method (MALOM) to deal with the
comprehensive design challenges of mechanisms involving mobility, kinematics/mechanics …

The forward kinematic equation of a general 2UPS-UP mechanism is an 8-th degree
polynomial that cannot be analytically solved. Two special cases that reduce the degree …

In this study, a dual-mode reconfigurable parallel ankle joint rehabilitation mechanism is
proposed to meet the needs of patients in different ankle rehabilitation stages. This …

This article presents a new three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) parallel mechanism (PM) with
two translations and one rotation (2T1R), designed based on the topological design theory …
