Design and Calibration of Ultra-high-precision Industrial Robots

Reymond Clavel, Murielle Richard, Emanuele Lubrano

In this paper we present the key phases to design and calibrate ultra-high-precision industrial robots (i.e. submicrometric precision robots). The first part of our study will cover the robot design aspects, from the choice of the kinematics with the help ...

Modular methodology to design high precision parallel robots and application to a 5-Degree of Freedom flexure-based manipulator

Reymond Clavel, Murielle Richard

This paper presents a novel modular methodology to design ultra-high precision parallel robots. It chiefly aims at significantly decreasing both the complexity of their synthesis and their development time. This approach can be compared to a robotic Lego®, ...

A new concept of modular kinematics to design ultra-high precision flexure-based robots

Reymond Clavel, Murielle Richard

This work deals with the kinematic conception and the mechanical design of ultra-high precision robots, which are at present costly to develop, both in time and money. The aim of this paper is thus to introduce a new modular concept of kinematics which all ...
