Gogu G. Structural Synthesis of Parallel Robots. Part 4: Other Topologies with Two and Three Degrees of Freedom

Springer Science+Business Media, Dordrecht, 2012, ISBN: 978-94-007-2674-1This book represents the fourth part of a larger work dedicated to the structural synthesis of parallel robots. This book offers other topologies of parallel robotic manipulators with two and three degrees of freedom systematically generated by using the structural synthesis approach proposed in Part 1.The originality of this work resides in the fact that it combines the new formulae for mobility connectivity, redundancy and overconstraints, and the evolutionary morphology in a unified approach of structural synthesis giving interesting innovative solutions for parallel mechanisms.Parallel mechanisms with cylindrical motion of the moving platform
Other T1R1-type parallel mechanisms
Parallel wrists with two degrees of freedom
T2R1-type overconstrained spatial parallel manipulators
Non overconstrained T2R1-type spatial parallel manipulators
T1R2-type spatial parallel manipulators
Parallel wrists with three degrees of freedom
Parallel mechanisms with dependent motions of the moving platform
