... Variable-degree-of-freedom (DOF) mechanisms or kinematotropic mechanisms are a family of reconfigurable mechanisms that can switch motion modes with different DOF [ 1 ]. They have great application potential in developing multifunctional robot manipulators and medical instruments as well as manufacturing...

... and validated by software simulation. Experimental tests on both designs were also performed. The result of this study shows that a reconfigurable mechanism with N working configurations can be completely statically balanced by using less than N passive energy elements.

... among the most featured problems when studying VTMs. Since late 1990s, reconfigurable mechanisms including variable topology mechanisms (VTMs) have started to call for attention in the community of mechanisms and machine science [ 1–4 ]. In contrast to the efforts for single-topology mechanisms...

... manipulators (PMs) (also parallel manipulators with multiple operation modes) is an open issue in the research on reconfigurable mechanisms and robots. This paper deals with the type synthesis of 3-DOF (degree-of-freedom) parallel manipulators with both a planar operation mode and a spatial translational...
