Parallel closed-chainmechanical architectures allow for redundant actuation in the force domain. Antagonistic actuation, afforded by this input force redundancy, in conjunction wi...
— Actuation redundancy is common in cooperative mobility and cooperative manipulation systems. In this paper we present an extension to a previously developed method in order to ...
— This paper reports some recent analysis and modeling results obtained while developing a tele-robotic system for minimally invasive surgery of the throat. One of the main enabl...
— For mobile platforms with steerable standard wheels it is necessary to precisely coordinate rotation and steering angle of their wheels. Especially for redundantly actuated pla...

In previous papers, I have argued that while parallel mechanisms are well known for their favorable structural properties, their utility is generally limited by an inherently small...
