Advances in parallel robotics for flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing
Coppola, Gianmarc (2014-04-01)Parallel robotic manipulators are a specific type of robot that has multiple limbs which are ultimately connected to a moving body. Within this regime, there are several sub-classes of robots characterized by certain ... -
Design and analysis of a three degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator with decoupled motions
Qian, Jijie (2009-04-01)Parallel manipulators have been the subject of study of much robotic research during the past three decades. A parallel manipulator typically consists of a moving platform that is connected to a fixed base by at least two ... -
Design and analysis of an adjustable wrist rehabilitation robot.
Wang, Mirui (2014-07-01)Numerous people lose motor capabilities of their hands every year because of the Stroke. Rehabilitation robot was used to recover the movement ability based on the plasticity theory. Many robots have been proposed but most ... -
Design and analysis of the three degrees of freedom parallel kinematic machine
Hu, Xiaolin (2008-08-01)The thesis is about design and analysis of a PKM with 3 DOF. The new PKM is designed as a machine tool in various applications in manufacturing. The PKM is optimized based on the developed stiffness model. Kinematics and ... -
Design and optimization of a compliant parallel robotic surgical instrument with multifunctional forceps for minimally invasive surgery
Hu, Rifeng (2015-11-01)Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) technique has seen its great success in the last few decades due to its significant advantages compared to the traditional open surgeries. This technique requires only a few 10 mm incisions ... -
Design and optimization of a macro-micro manipulator featuring a 3-UPS compliant parallel mechanism
Liang, Benkai (2016-10-01)Micromanipulation in microtechnology is highly needed for microfabrication and biomedical applications. Specifically, high manipulation resolution combined with accurate macromotions plays a more crucial role especially ... -
Design and optimization of a three-fingered robot hand
Jafargholibeik, Nasim (2011-04-01)Humanoid robots have proven to be very useful and could revolutionize the way humans live. Knowing human anatomy and behaviour helps improve a robotic mechanisms ability to perform human tasks. The following thesis introduces ... -
Design of 3-DOF parallel manipulators for micro-motion applications
Li, Jian (2009-08-01)This thesis presents two unique micro-motion parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM): a three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) micro-motion manipulator and a 3-DOF micro-motion manipulator with actuation redundancy. The 3-DOF ... -
Design, optimization, and prototyping of a three translational degree of freedom parallel robot
Hodgins, Jonathan (2012-03-01)This thesis presents an evolutionarily design change for the Delta parallel robot. The proposed design change increases the useful workspace of the robot and aids in permanently avoiding singularities in the workspace. ... -
H-Delta: design and applications of a novel 5 degree of freedom parallel robot
Hodgins, Jonathan (2018-04-01)This thesis presents a new parallel 5 DOF robot called the H-Delta. The H- Delta adds 2 degrees of freedom (DOF) to the traditional Delta robot in a novel way, adding functionality and versatility. Importantly, the rotational ... -
Improved design of three-degree of freedom hip exoskeleton based on biomimetic parallel structure
Pan, Min (2011-07-01)The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength, endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most ... -
Performance improvement for robotic mechanisms by: synthesis design, dynamic balancing and adaptive control techniques
Wei, Bin (2016-05-01)Robotics have been used in many arenas, such as manufacturing, medical, and space. Currently, the use of robotics is limited with respect to performance capabilities. Improving the performance of robotic mechanisms is a ... -
Research on remote control of reconfigurable modular robotic system
Song, Zhanglei (2009-08-01)Serial manipulators, which have large work space with respect to their own volume and occupied floor space, are the most common industrial robots by far. However, in many environments the situation is unstructured and less ...
