Two versions of spatial double-triangular mechanisms are introduced, one with three and one with six degrees of freedom. Using dual-number quaternion algebra, a formula for the direct kinematics of these manipulators is derived. Numerical examples are included.

Abstract The construction of a new type of a six-degrees-of-freedom parallel robot is presented in this paper. Coordinated motion of three planar motors, connected to three fixed-length links, produces a six-degrees-of-freedom motion of an output link. Its extremely simple design along with much larger work volume make this high performance-to-simplicity ratio robot very attractive.

Abstract A new structure of a six degrees-of-freedom robot is described in this paper. The robot presents two new features: three inflatable links that constitute the robot structure and parallel robot architecture with large workspace. These features result in a lightweight and easy to deploy robot. The structure, kinematics and path planning of the experimental robot are presented.

This article shows the design, analysis and manufacturing of one equine robot prototype with six degrees of freedom along with the development and implementation of control software. This software has the purpose to drive and to calculate the robot kinematics. All of this allows studding the elements necessaries to make a simulator of shots for riders that can be used in education areas as a tool of didactic support in the courses in the police national of Colombia, ensuring that the riders do not suffer physical and psychological injuries during their formation and avoiding hurting the horses in the training of that courses. In addition, the riders can interact and experiment of safety way every situation that they could find in real practice. The system is based on the kinematic study according to the Denavit-Hartenberg algorithm, approximate simulation using Kinematic-ARM® and the mathematic medeling in the Matlab® programming environment. All tecniques give aproximate results of location of the manipulator tool.    Finally, it is possible to validate and analising the results comparing the practical and theoric values to determine the TCP error estimated in each movement.Keywords: Direct kinematics, equine robot, Denavit-Hartenberg (D-H), Degrees of Freedom (DOF), Tool Center Point (TCP).

Parallel kinematics with multi degrees-of-freedom (DOF), like hexapod-systems, are mostly used in applications where high demands on position accuracy are required and/or high accelerations are needed. Adequate control concepts are essential in order to achieve the desired dynamic response. This paper deals with a comparative study of two structural different control concepts applied on a parallel robot with six degrees-of-freedom. The first one is a decentral linear approach and the second one is a multivariable nonlinear approach. The two concepts are presented and implemented on an experimental hexapod-system. In order to verify the used dynamic model comparisons between simulation and measurement results are shown. Finally, experiments have been carried out to compare the control laws with respect to their motion tracking performance.

Robotic reduction of long bones is associated with the need for considerable force and high precision. To balance the accuracy, payload, and workspace, we have designed a new six degrees-of-freedom three-legged wide-open robotic system for long-bone fracture reduction. Thanks to the low number of legs and their nonsymmetrical configuration, the mechanism enjoys a unique architecture with a frontally open half-plane. This facilitates positioning the leg inside the mechanism and provides a large workspace for surgical maneuvers, as shown and compared to the well-known Gough–Stewart platform. The experimental tests on a phantom reveal that the mechanism is well capable of applying the desired reduction steps against the large muscular payloads with high accuracy.

This paper presents a new method for the combined topological and geometric reconfiguration of a parallel robot to achieve task-based reconfiguration. Using the existing structure of a six degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel robot, reconfiguration to limited mobility modes, a configuration with less than six degrees-of-freedom, can be achieved easily without the need to remove branches from the robot structure. Branch modules are instead, reconfigured from an unconstrained-active to a constrained-passive state by means of hybrid active/passive motors and reconfigurable universal-to-revolute joints. In doing so, the robot is capable of assuming a configuration in which the number of task-based degrees-of-freedom match the number of controllable actuators within the robot structure. The selection of branch modules for reconfiguration is independent of the limited mobility mode required and leads to multiple isomorphic configurations. A comparative study is thus needed to understand not only the implication of morphing, but also the capabilities of the reconfigured robot. For this purpose, a branch-based mobility analysis is performed and isomorphic configurations are identified. These isomorphic configurations are then compared based on their workspace and kinematic capabilities for which a parametric kinematic constraint formulation is developed. The comparative study evaluates the abilities of each configuration and is used for guidance in selecting an appropriate configuration for a particular task. The developed tools can also be used for design evaluation purposes.
