DOI: 10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2019.103637
Abstract: Abstract This paper proposes a new-kind three-translational and two-rotational (3T2R) motion with one fixed and one variable rotation directions. The serial kinematic chains (SKCs) that generate the proposed motions are synthesized. They are quite different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2019.103740
Abstract: Abstract For mechanism design, the isomorphic kinematic chains (KCs) should be deleted to improve design efficiency. At present, most methods of isomorphism detection involve complex concepts and comparison of intermediate parameters. Moreover, when the number… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tro.2022.3158548
Abstract: Narrow passages in free space pose great challenges to many sampling-based motion planners. In problems with high-dimensional configuration spaces (C-spaces), narrow passages in free space (C-free) can be hard to find and navigate and, sometimes,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1115/1.4046840
Abstract: An important step in the structural synthesis of kinematic chains (KCs) or mechanisms is the detection of isomorphic structures. Although many detection methods have been proposed, most of them require complex computations and have poor… read more here.
