- The subject of this paper is a hybrid hip biped climbing robot. The hybrid hip provides both prismatic and revolute motion, discretely, to the robot, using a single actuator. Thi...
A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
Abstract— This paper presents a novel methodology for detecting collisions of cylindrically shaped rigid bodies moving in three dimensions. This algorithm uses line geometry and ...
