Design and Analysis of a Novel Magnetic Adhesion Robot with Passive Suspension
The steel lining of large facilities is an important structure that experiences extreme environments and requires periodical inspection after manufacture. However, due to the complexity of their internal envir...

The Metamorphic Variable-Axis Revolute Hinge and Its Induced Reconfiguration of Robotic Legged Lander
The robotic legged lander has three operation modes from adjusting, landing, to roving. To facilitate its reconfiguration reliably, this paper firstly introduces the design of a novel metamorphic variable-axis...

Structural design of a novel family of 2-DOF translational parallel robots to enhance the normal-direction stiffness using passive limbs
Many planar 2-DOF translational parallel robots which were invented for the simple industrial tasks are easy to suffer the problem of the poor intrinsic stiffness along the normal direction to the plane of mot...

The design of a new remote manipulator for space operation using a 4-cable-driven thrusters-embedded configuration
A new remote manipulator based on cable-driven parallel mechanism (CDPM) is designed for space long-distance operations (e.g. space capture/docking and other long-distance space activities) in this paper. By c...

A New Euclidian Distance Based Approach to Measure Closeness to Singularity for Parallel Manipulators
Singularity configurations are particular poses of end-effector, for which parallel manipulators lose inherent infinite rigidity and in which the end-effector lose control. Finding how close the manipulator is...

An Intelligent Fault Diagnosis Method Based on Multiscale Entropy and SVMs
Sample entropy (SampEn) has been applied in many literatures as a statistical feature to describe the regularity of a time series. However, as components of mechanical system usually interact and couple with e...
