This paper introduces a new methodology to design modular industrial ultra-high precision robots; it aims at significantly reducing both the complexity of their design and their development time. This modular concept can be considered as a robotic Lego®, w ...
The large volume and reduced dexterity of current surgical robotic systems are factors that restrict their effective performance. To improve the usefulness of surgical robots in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), a compact and accurate positioning mechanism ...
This paper presents a novel goniometer which is designed for use with X-ray diffraction analysis in protein crystallography. The PRIGO (Parallel Robotics Inspired Goniometer) is a 6 degree of freedom positioning device, allowing 3 translations (x, y, z) an ...
The machine tool industry is a well established, old and extremely important branch of today's manufacturing industry. With the ongoing globalization and the resulting increase of competition in this industry, the manufacturers have to push their technolog ...
