This paper proposes a novel application of the Stewart–Gough parallel platform as a climbing robot and its kinematics control to climb through long structures describing unknown spatial trajectories, such as palm trunks, tubes, etc. First, the description and design of the climbing parallel robot is presented. Second, the inverse and forward kinematics analysis of a mobile six-degrees-of-freedo...

The well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. A new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (MP) is shown to simulat...

The real-time pose measurement of parallel robot helps to achieve the closed loop pose control and improve the control and operating performance of parallel robot. But it is difficult to implement the realtime pose measurement directly. In order to solve the pose measurement problem of a 6-DOF parallel robot, the kinematics analysis of the parallel robot is made, and a Generalized Regression Ne...
