New robotic technology is emerging nowadays to tackle lower limb rehabilitation issues. However, the commercial robots available for are usually oversize and expensive. Knee generally aided by a professional therapist, making this clinical procedure an interesting scope robotics. Parallel suitable candidates knee due their high load capacity, stiffness, accuracy compared serial ones. In contras...

Cable-driven parallel robots are mechanisms that control the position and attitude of an object using multiple cables. Typical cable-driven have been studied for use on land, but not in water. This is because motion analysis become difficult underwater due to large deformation cables caused by fluid forces. In this paper, we propose robot consisting on-water derive a dynamics model considers ca...

This paper describes development and experiments of a picking robot for sweet peppers in greenhouse horticulture. This picking robot has an image processing system with a parallel stereovision, a camera positioning system to follow the sweet pepper by visual feedback control, and a cutting device. A prototype robot system has been made and is introduced. Experiments of the prototype prove that ...

Parallel robot manipulators comprise a mobile platform connected to a fixed base through three or more articulated links and are used extensively throughout industry for such diverse applications as high-precision positioning systems, fiber alignment, welding, robotic manipulators, automatic inspection systems, and so forth. Therefore, planning a trajectory to perform a specific task is one of ...
