The novel design of a three-degree of freedom (DOF) parallel robotic structured hip exoskeleton is introduced in this research. An exoskeleton for walking typically is developed as an auxiliary mechanism which is used for the entire leg. This paper presents a biomimetic parallel manipulator which is only for the hip. An exhaustive mobility analysis and inverse kinematic solutions are derived in closed...
This research is concerned with the design and analysis of a parallel kinematic manipulator (PKM) with three degrees of freedom (DOF). The proposed PKM combining the spatial rotational and translational degrees of freedom has varied advantages and good potential applications of materials handling. First, the static balancing of the parallel manipulator is investigated. The definition and methodology...
This paper presents a comparison study of two unique micro-motion parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM): a three degrees of freedom (DOF) micro-motion PKM and a 3-DOF micro-motion PKM with actuation redundancy. The 3-DOF micro-motion PKM has three linear-motion driving units, while the 3-DOF micro-motion PKM with actuator redundancy has four of these units. For both designs, the linear motion driving...
There has been a growing interest of parallel mechanisms which offer a high degree of precision, stiffness and dexterity to name just a few of their benefits as opposed to their traditional serial counterparts. For the applications of parallel mechanisms in the field of sensor, previous work was focused on investigating the 6 degree-of-freedom force/torque sensors based on common Gough-Stewart platform...
Global Stiffness design and optimization of parallel mechanisms can be a difficult and time-consuming exercise in parallel robot design, especially when the variables are multifarious and the objective functions are too complex. To address this issue, optimization techniques based on kinetostatic model and genetic algorithms are investigated as the effective criteria. First, a 5-DOF parallel mechanism...
In this paper, the topic studied comprehensively is based on the constant stiffness mechanism of a clamp plate installed on a Parawrist robot and the optimization of the manipulatorpsilas functionality. Currently situated at the Ryerson University, the Parawrist robot is used for mold polishing applications to provide a smooth surface for a finished product. The content of this research focuses on...
There is an increasing requirement, in a variety of fields, for the ability to make microscopic movements or to position items with high degree of accuracy. In this paper, a parallel mechanism with prismatic actuators which encompasses three degrees of freedom and can produce motion on a microscopic level is proposed and developed. In order to produce such motion, the mechanism is composed of compliant...
