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 paper, a concept of adaptive capture for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs)
using parallel mechanism with configurable platform is proposed. By leveraging the …

The paper discusses inverse and forward kinematics of a 4-DOF parallel mechanism with a
circular rail. The mechanism can perform an unlimited rotation around one of the axes and …

This paper presents a systematic methodology for analyzing and optimizing an innovative
antenna mount designed for phased array antennas, implemented through a novel 2-PSS&1 …

For the machining process of industrial parallel robots, the gravity generated by the weight of
mobile platform and links will lead to the deviation of the expected machining trajectory of …

The study presents a novel four-degrees-of-freedom (4-DOF) parallel manipulator with a
circular rail and analyzes its mobility and kinematics. The manipulator has three rotational …

This article overviews known parallel mechanisms with a circular guide. The considered
mechanisms are systemized in terms of kinematic chains and the motion pattern. The …

The article presents design, mobility and kinematic analysis of a 1-DOF 4 R 1 H mechanism.
Here, R designates a revolute joint and H designates a helical joint. The considered …

The positioning and orienting errors of a deployable mechanism used for supporting
antennas directly affects the performance of the satellite. This paper focuses on the error …

This article considers an inverse and forward kinematic analysis of a recently proposed
foldable parallel mechanism with a circular rail (FoldRail mechanism). The mechanism has …
