New algebraic conditions for the identification of the relative position of two coplanar ellipses
Alberich Carramiñana, Maria; Elizalde, Borja; Thomas, Federico (2017-05-01)
Article
Accés obertThe identification of the relative position of two real coplanar ellipses can be reduced to the identification of the nature of the singular conics in the pencil they define and, in general, their location with respect to ... -
New bracket polynomials associated with the general gough-stewart parallel robot singularities
Thomas, Federico (2023)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertIt is well known that the singularities of a Gough-Stewart platform arise when the determinant of the Plücker coordinates of the robot leg lines vanish. The direct expansion of this determinant in terms of the configuration ... -
New geometric approaches to the analysis and design of Stewart-Gough platforms
Borràs Sol, Júlia; Thomas, Federico; Torras, Carme (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
Article
Accés obertIn general, rearranging the legs of a Stewart-Gough platform, i.e., changing the locations of its leg attachments, modifies the platform singularity locus in a rather unexpected way. Nevertheless, some leg rearrangements ... -

On Cayley's factorization of 4D rotations and applications
Pérez Gracia, Alba; Thomas, Federico (2017-03-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialA 4D rotation can be decomposed into a left- and a right-isoclinic rotation. This decomposition, known as Cayley’s factorization of 4D rotations, can be performed using the Elfrinkhof–Rosen method. In this paper, we present ... -

Article
Accés obertA real orthogonal matrix representing a rotation in four dimensions can be decomposed into the commutative product of a left- and a right-isoclinic rotation matrix. This operation, known as Cayley's factorization, directly ... -

On closed-form solutions to the position analysis of Baranov trusses
Rojas Libreros, Nicolás Enrique; Thomas, Federico (2012)
Article
Accés obertThe exact position analysis of a planar mechanism reduces to compute the roots of its characteristic polynomial. Obtaining this polynomial usually involves, as a first step, obtaining a system of equations derived from ... -
On generalized dual Euler angles
Rull Sanahuja, Aleix; Thomas, Federico (Springer, 2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThis paper first explores the generalization of Euler angles to the case in which the rotation axes are not necessarily members of an orthonormal triad, and presents a concise solution to their computation that relies on ... -

Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThis paper presents a first attempt at a unified kinematics analysis of all serial and parallel solvable robots, that is, robots whose position analysis can be carried out without relying on numerical methods. The efforts ... -
On the primal and dual forms of the Stewart platform pure condition
Borràs Sol, Júlia; Thomas, Federico (2012)
Article
Accés obertThe algebraic characterization of the singularities of a Stewart platform is usually presented as a 6 × 6 determinant, whose rows correspond to the line coordinates of its legs, equated to zero. This expression can be ... -
On ¿-transforms
Thomas, Federico; Torras, Carme; Borràs Sol, Júlia (2009)
Article
Accés obertAnyset of two legs in a Gough–Stewart platform sharing an attachment is defined as a Δcomponent. This component links a point in the platform (base) to a line in the base (platform). Thus, if the two legs, which are involved ... -
Optimal design of a 6-DOF 4-4 parallel manipulator with uncoupled singularities
Borràs Sol, Júlia; Ottaviano, Erika; Ceccarelli, Marco; Thomas, Federico (Asociación Española de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2008)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertA 6-DOF 4-4 parallel manipulator is presented. Its forward kinematics can be solved by a sequence of three trilaterations and, as a consequence, its singularities can be described in geometric terms as the degeneration of ... -
