This paper introduces a novel design for a robotic hand based on parallel mechanisms. The proposed hand uses a triple-symmetric Bricard linkage as its reconfigurable palm, enhancing adaptability to objects of varying shapes and sizes. Through topological and dimensional synthesis, the mechanism achi…
In this paper, we present RhoMorph, a novel deformable planar lattice modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) with a rhombus shaped module. Each module consists of a parallelogram skeleton with a single centrally mounted actuator that enables folding and unfolding along its diagonal. The core desig…
While deformable modular self reconfigurable robots offer enhanced reconfiguration flexibility, strict kinematic constraints present complex self reconfiguration planning challenges. This letter presents a novel self-reconfiguration planning algorithm for deformable quadrilateral MSRRs. The method f
Modular Self-Reconfigurable Robot (MSRR) systems are a class of robots capable of forming higher-level robotic systems by altering the topological relationships between modules, offering enhanced adaptability and robustness in various environments. This paper presents a novel MSRR called MODUR, feat
