Shape control of high degree-of-freedom Variable Geometry Truss manipulators
Variable Geometry Trusses (VGT’s) can be used as the fundamental building blocks in constructing long-chain, high degree-of-freedom manipulators. This thesis focuses on the kinematics of two such manipulators. It also illustrates how the concept of shape control can be applied to simplify the …

A study of isostatic framework with application to manipulator design
Isostatic frameworks are statically determinate trusses that are self contained (Le. they exist independent of support or foundation). Isostatic frameworks have been widely used as supporting structures, and recently they have been used as the structure for parallel manipulators. These truss-based …
