ADAPT: A 3 Degrees of Freedom Reconfigurable Force Balanced Parallel Manipulator for Aerial Applications

In this work, we present the ADAPT, a novel reconfigurable force-balanced parallel manipulator with pantograph legs for spatial motions applied underneath a drone. The reconfigurable aspect allows different motion-based 3-DoF operation modes like translational, rotational, mixed, planar without disassembly. For the purpose of this study, the...

Actuator and Sensor System Design of a Haptic Parallel Robot

This thesis describes the main work that I have done on my final MSc. project at Delft University of Technology. My project is a part of the design of a haptic tele-operated microassembly system within the group of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) at the faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3ME). My work has...
