Kinematic chains, comprising interconnected rigid links and joints, form the backbone of mechanism design. Recent advances in synthesis methods have increasingly relied on graph theory to provide ...

A hexapod, also known as a Stewart or Gough-Stewart platform, is a six-legged parallel mechanism. In its most common form, it consists of two platforms — one fixed and the other movable — connected by ...

Purdue faculty dedicate countless hours to exploring the frontiers of their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and contributing to the ever-evolving landscape of academia. To ...

This article systematically reviews the available literature to improve our understanding of the physiological basis for orthoses under the kinematic, shock attenuation and neuromotor control ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

This new Kinematics Toolbox, for use with the company's MotionWorks IEC Controllers, is an IEC61131-3 user library that can be imported into projects created with the company's MotionWorks IEC Pro, ...

Many automakers use torque vectoring to shift torque between the wheel or wheels that need traction the most. In spirited driving, the system can improve handling by helping rotate the vehicle and get ...

Aluminum bed with new kinematic mount and base on printer Son of Megamax, at the Milwaukee Makerspace [Mark Rehorst] has been busy designing and building 3D printers, and Son of Megamax — one of his ...

Penguins generate centripetal force when turning by pointing their belly inwards and moving their wings asymmetrically. New findings shed light on the previously unknown mechanisms that these birds ...
