A robot for welding inspection in offshore mooring chains
(Springer, 2018-08-31)
In this paper, the authors present the CIRUS robot. This automatic system uses a combination of pulse-echo and pitch and catch ultrasonic strategies for the inspection of the welded area of mooring chain links in an automatic ...
Translational parallel manipulator with Pa2 kinematic joints
(Springer, 2016-10-01)
The kinematic pair Pa2 is composed of two interlinked parallelograms. It has two degrees of freedom that generate a translational plane variable with position. It has a structure different from the PaPa pair, which is ...
An active/passive joint for reconfiguration applications
(Springer, 2019-09-07)
In this paper, an active/passive reconfigurable 2R joint is presented. Direct and inverse kinematic problems and the force transmission are considered. The advantages of the current design show its superiority with respect ...
Optimum dimensional synthesis using GIMSYNT software
(Springer, 2019-06-14)
In the field of mechanism design, optimum dimensional synthesis
plays a significant role. Focusing on path generation synthesis, the designer has
to find the most adequate mechanism capable of tracing a trajectory as ...
Dynamics and mechanical vibrations. Complementing the theory with virtual simulation and experimental analysis
(Springer, 2018-09-21)
The purpose of the present work is to show how the complex theory in subjects related to
Mechanism and Machine Theory can be reinforced with some practicals in which the students can perform
virtual simulation of the ...
Parallel manipulators: practical applications and kinematic design criteria. Towards the modular reconfigurable robots
(Springer, 2017-06-10)
Modern robotic manipulators play an essential role in industry, developing several tasks in an easy way, enhancing the accuracy of the final product and reducing the executing time. Also they can be found in other fields ...
