"Sump-Inlet" deployment linkage design for sargassum ocean sequestration (SOS)
… velocity. With this method chosen, a single DOF linkage system was needed to deploy the sump-inlet and constrain it during operation. The hydrodynamic response of this linkage must ensure that the weir stays at an acceptable depth, in as wide a range of sea states as possible, to avoid …

Kinematic Analysis Of A Two Body Articulated Robotic Vehicle
… Competition (IGVC) at Virginia Tech, was redesigned in 2006 to improve the mobility of the vehicle by incorporating an innovative four-bar linkage that connects the two bodies. The new linkage design minimizes vehicle off-tracking by allowing the rear wheels to closely track the path of the …

Synthesizing force systems for motion time response, input-output forces and joint force control using interactive graphics and influence coefficients
"THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES OF LINKAGE DESIGN: The four design objectives most generally encountered when designing a linkage are: Objective 1: Kinematic, a linkage is geometrically designed to meet kinematic objectives such as rigid body guidance, path generation or function generation. Objective 2: …

Polynomial continuation in the design of deployable structures
… especially in the field of deployable structure design. The power of polynomial continuation as a design tool lies in its ability to find all solutions of a system of polynomial equations (even positive dimensional solution sets). A linkage design problem posed in polynomial form can be made to …

Development and Analysis of Linkage-based Overground Gait Rehabilitation Robots
… of robotic gait rehabilitation devices which are designed to be easy to use, simple and compact. The Linkage-based Gait Trainer (LGT) was the first device developed and is an overground gait rehabilitation device consisting of a four-bar linkage end-effector mechanism. The literature review …

Mechanical Design of the Legs for OLL-E, a Fully Self-Balancing, Lower-Body Exoskeleton
… of Freedom, six in each leg, using custom design linear series elastic actuators. The placement of these actuators relative to each joint axis, and the geometry of the linkage connecting them, were critical to ensuring each joint was capable of producing the required outputs for …

Motion coordination and control in the development of a gait rehabilitation system
… system was developed, which uses close-chain linkage mechanisms to guide the legs with coordinated movement of the leg joints to follow normal physiological gait pattern. The natural kinematics constraints of the mechanisms produce trajectories that limit the joints' range of motion (ROM) thus …
