We propose a cybernetic glove to control sound synthesis process. The glove was adopted to measure static and dynamic postures of the hand, by means of piezoelectric sensors, which are capable to change their electrical resistivity when deformed. The piezoresistive coefficient is defined by the ratio of the change of the relative resistivity caused by the change of the relative length of resist...

Flexure parallel mechanism (FPM) possessing selective actuation (SA) feature can be used as a micropositioner. The design of SA FPMs consists of type synthesis of parallel mechanisms possessing the required number of degree of freedom (DOF), geometric arrangement of the structure to obtain the SA and conversion of the kinematic mechanism into the flexure mechanism. This paper focuses on the SA ...

In this paper one anthropomorphic modular reconfigurable gripper for robots are described , including a prototype. For the first time the stages of synthesis, analysis design and functional simulation are presented. The structural synthesis of the anthropomorphic grippers for robots can be made regarding the following main criteria: the number of fingers, the number of phalanxes, the relative d...

We present a parameter synthesis algorithm for planar, higher pair mechanical systems. The input is a parametric model of a mechanical system (part shapes and configurations) with nominal values and tolerance intervals for the parameters. The output is revised parameter ranges that guarantee correct kinematic function for all system variations. Nominal values are changed when possible and toler...

This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel five degrees-of- freedom (DOF) parallel kinematic manipulator (PKM) for part-handling, sorting, general positioning, robotic machining applications. The 2- R(Pa-IQ)RR, R(Pa-IQ)R has two rotational DOFs, one parasitic rotation, three translational DOFs. In comparison with other 5- 6- DOF PKMs, this PKM possesses pairs coplanar legs that cont...

This article is about the problem of control system synthesis for an active suspension with not-ideal actuator under kinematic constrains. paper investigates influence hysteresis and dead zone in on efficiency system. To reduce a method discontinuous systems proposed. The proposed reduces sensitivity to disturbances caused by non-ideal actuator. It enables fourfold expansion distribution range ...

introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (ups) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. we proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. the proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...
