Computer-aided mechanism design
I believe the best way to deliver the theoretical results to industry is through software package with a graphical user friendly interface.
- SYNEHTICA
is a general purpose interactive design and simulation system for spatial mechanisms and robots. Its Java-based extensible architecture allows users to integrate their own synthesis and analysis routines into the system through dynamic binding. The result is a versatile high level design and simulation system for articulated serial and parallel chains. The software also includes a generic and stable algorithm that uses singular value decomposition and optimization to compute the kinematics of constrained serial and parallel robots. See my publication for details.
- A Java applet for RRSS linkage
This is a Java applet for showing the classification and type map of RRSS linkages. See my publication for details.
This is simulation system for a six revolute joint painting manipulator. Due its special geometric parameters, a closed-form or analytical inverse kinematics is not available. A resultant elimination based algorithm has been developed to compute the the inverse kinematics. See my publication for details.
