... layout mortise–tenon joints and vacuum adsorption module was proposed to enhance its structure rigidity and load-bearing capacity. The kinematics model of the robot was established by using the geometric analysis and Euler transformation principles, and the static model was derived by the principle...

... a vertical axis. The design concept, kinematics, system descriptions and proof-of-concept experimental characterizations are elaborated. Findings Experimental characterizations show that the CurviPicker can achieve satisfactory accuracy after motion calibration. The CurviPicker is easy to control due...

... principle compared to larger harmonic drive gears, the transmission error are more pronounced. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss approaches to compensate for this effect. Findings A very promising approach is the use of a simplified model of the kinematic error within the robot control to compensate...

.... Also due to the special form of CEB, an especially designed pneumatic gripper is developed. Kinematics models, static and dynamic equations, together with trajectory planning for such a manipulator are described. Findings The high‐speed complex transfer in a limited environment is successfully...

... of such robotic arms. In fact, the proposed structure has simpler and more manageable mathematical models compared to those of other 3D parallel structures. Plate 1 3D view of the manipulator Figure 1 Top view of the manipulator The inverse kinematics analysis produces...
