Abstract: Remote center of motion (RCM) mechanisms are widely used in surgical robots to mechanically constrain the position of a certain point in the operation space. Examples of well-known RCM ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel TTR mechanism, also known as a 2T1R (2-Translation-1-Rotation) three-degree-of-freedom planar mechanism, achieved through the arrangement of three nested circular ...

A slider-crank mechanism is a typical design which converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is achieved by connecting a slider and a crank with a rod. Figure A depicts a mechanism utilized as a ...

In manufacturing, not all losses are loud. Some happen quietly, every second, in the background. Friction is one of them. Each time two parts move, whether turning, sliding or rolling, energy is lost.

Electric drives are an essential aspect of robots and key players in transforming them into functional entities. They enable robots to move, perform precise tasks, and interact with their environment ...
