Link-based Performance Optimization of Spatial Mechanisms
(2014-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the design of spatial linkages, the finite-position kinematics is fully specified by the position of the joint axes, i.e., a set of lines in space. However, most of the tasks have additional requirements regarding motion ... -
Dimensional Synthesis of Wristed Binary Hands
(2016-04)
Article
Open AccessThe kinematic synthesis applied to tree topologies is a tool for the design of multi-fingered robotic hands, for a simultaneous task of all fingertips. Even though traditionally wrists and hands have been designed separately, ... -
