Parallel manipulators, also called parallel kinematics machines (PKM), enable robotic solutions for highly dynamic handling and machining applications. The safe and accurate design and control necessitates high-fidelity dynamics models.…
This paper deals with a new planar parallel mechanism with variable actuation and its kinetostatic performance. A drawback of parallel mechanisms is the non homogeneity of kinetostatic performance within their workspace. The common approach…
Redundant parallel robots are normally employed in scenarios requiring good precision, high load capability, and large workspace compared to traditional parallel mechanisms. However, the elementary robotic configuration and geometric…
The paper focuses on the redundancy resolution in kinematic control of a new type of serial manipulator composed of multiple tensegrity segments, which are moving in a multi-obstacle environment. The general problem is decomposed into two…
Parallel kinematic manipulators (PKM) are characterized by closed kinematic loops, due to the parallel arrangement of limbs but also due to the existence of kinematic loops within the limbs. Moreover, many PKM are built with limbs…
This paper aims to study a specific kind of parallel robot: Spherical Parallel Manipulators (SPM) that are capable of unlimited rolling. A focus is made on the kinematics of such mechanisms, especially taking into account uncertainties…
A hyper-redundant robotic arm is a manipulator with many degrees of freedom, capable of executing tasks in cluttered environments where robotic arms with fewer degrees of freedom are unable to operate. This paper introduces a new method for…
The aim of this paper is to characterize the notion of aspect in the workspace and in the joint space for parallel manipulators. In opposite to the serial manipulators, the parallel manipulators can admit not only multiple inverse kinematic…

The aim of this paper is to characterize the uniqueness domains in the workspace of parallel manipulators, as well as their image in the joint space. The notion of aspect introduced for serial manipulators in [Borrel 86] is redefined for…
Most industrial machine tools have a serial kinematic architecture, which means that each axis has to carry the following one, including its actuators and joints. High Speed Machining highlights some drawbacks of such architectures: heavy…

The subject of this paper is the design of a new concept of modular parallel mechanisms for three, four or five-axis machining applications. Most parallel mechanisms are designed for three- or six-axis machining applications. In the last…
This work investigates new kinematic features of parallel manipulators. It is well known that parallel manipulators admit generally several direct kinematic solutions for a given set of input joint values. The aim of this paper is to…
This article provides a formalism making it possible to manage the solutions of the direct and inverse kinematic models of the fully parallel manipulators. We introduce the concept of working modes to separate the solutions from the…
