The machine tool industry is a well established, old and extremely important branch of today's manufacturing industry. With the ongoing globalization and the resulting increase of competition in this industry, the manufacturers have to push their technolog ...
Flexures are enjoying a new boom in numerous high-precision and extreme-environment applications. This paper presents some general aspects of flexure design, showing simple principles, and also some subtler issues concerning kinematic design, stiffness com ...
In this paper we present our work on integrating a locomotion controller based on central pattern generator (CPG) and a motion planning algorithm using artificial potential fields for a non-holonomic crawling humanoid robot, the iCub. We also integrated a ...
Timing is an important part in the analysis of alpine skiing technique. Key events extracted from dynamics and kinematics of ski were previously proposed, but timing of body segments kinematics is also required to understand the biomechanics and to assess ...
The large volume and reduced dexterity of current surgical robotic systems are factors that restrict their effective performance. To improve the usefulness of surgical robots in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a compact and accurate positioning mechanism ...
This paper presents a novel goniometer which is designed for use with X-ray diffraction analysis in protein crystallography. The PRIGO (Parallel Robotics Inspired Goniometer) is a 6 degree of freedom positioning device, allowing 3 translations (x, y, z) an ...
A new rehabilitation and fitness robot called the “Lambda Robot” is presented. This paper introduces a concept of a parallel robot that may be used for mobilization of the lower extremities. Hence, it may be used for fitness as well as for rehabilitation f ...
The rapid evolution in microsystems and optoelectronics creates the demand for robotic production means with increased performance. The required precision for specific tasks in machining, positioning and assembly is a factor 10 to 100 better than 1 microme ...
A machine-tool is able to manufacture precisely only when it is calibrated. Calibration consists in correcting the model of the machine so that it represents the real kinematics. On no account calibrating a structure consists in changing some parts of the ...
The Hita-STT is a five-axis parallel kinematics machine-tool designed for machining and polishing complex parts for applications in medical, automotive components, watch industries. The kinematics of Hita-STT prototype presents an over-constrained design i ...
