Structural Synthesis of Parallel Robots
Description
This is the first book of robotics presenting solutions of uncoupled and fully-isotropic PMs and a method for their structural synthesis. Non-redundant/redundant, overconstrained/isostatic solutions of uncoupled and fully-isotropic PMs with elementary/complex legs actuated by linear/rotary actuators with/without idle mobility and two to six DoFs are present in a systematic approach of structural synthesis. These solutions are derived from families of PMs with decoupled motions.

From the reviews:
"The book presents the synthesis methodology and solutions for parallel manipulators. . The book gives the definitions of many terms in the area of mechanisms and robotics using the IFToMM terminology. The presented material summarizes research activities and some recent scientific advances in the structural synthesis of parallel robots. . this book can be considered as a very useful learning tool for scientists and engineers from academia and industry."
