Efficient physics simulations are essential for numerous applications, ranging from realistic cloth animations in video games, to analyzing pollutant dispersion in environmental sciences, to calculating vehicle drag coefficients in engineering applications. Unfortunately, analytical solutions to the…
In general, it is not possible to determine the actual manipulator platform's pose of a parallel mechanism from its active joints' coordinates. This problem is usually solved by using additional numerical procedures or by additional system information from auxiliary sensors, providing several weakne…
The direct kinematics problem of the Stewart-Gough platform can be solved by measuring the manipulator platform's orientation and two of the linear actuators' orientations instead of the six linear actuators' lengths. In this paper, the effect of measurement errors on the calculated manipulator plat…
One of the main tasks in robotics is to precisely connect the robot's coordinate system with the world's coordinate system. For parallel mechanisms, this is a challenging task due to the direct kinematics problem, which is usually solved by using iterative algorithms to search for the mobile platfor…
