Design and Evaluation of NEUROBike: A Neurorehabilitative Platform for Bedridden Post-Stroke Patients

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Over the past decades, a large number of robotic platforms have been developed which provide rehabilitative treatments aimed at recovering walking abilities in post-stroke patients. Unfortunately, they do not significantly influence patients' performance a ...

Design of hybrid-kinematic mechanisms for machine tools

Patric Pham

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 ...

Méthode d'étalonnage d'une machine-outil à cinématique parallèle à cinq axes à grands angles d'inclinaison

Hélène Frayssinet Mazerolle

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 ...

We introduce a constraint-based motion editing technique enforcing the intrinsic motion flow of a given motion pattern (e.g., golf swing). Its major characteristic is to operate in the motion Principal Coefficients (PCs) space instead of the pose PCs space ...

Improving the accuracy of the 5-axis parallel kinematics machine-tool Hita-STT (Stiffness Tracking Technology)

Reymond Clavel, Mauro Forlani

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 ...

The closed form solution of the inverse kinematic problem of 3r positioning manipulators

In this thesis we contribute to the inverse kinematics solution of serial positional manipulators with three rotational joints (3R). This type of linkage is frequently used for 6R manipulators, where three – mostly the last – joint axes intersect at one po ...

Calibration of the 5-dof parallel kinematics HITA-STT

Reymond Clavel

The parallel kinematics machine tool HITA-STT (Stiffness Tracking Technology) developed by Willemin–Machines S.A. and EPFL is now able to machine. This machine can reach accelerations of 5g. It is characterized by a tilt of ± 60° around the B-axis. This ch ...
