[EN] The ankle is a complex joint with a high injury incidence. Rehabilitation Robotics applied to the ankle is a very active research field. We present the kinematics and statics of a cable-driven reconfigurable ankle ...
[EN] A robot interacting with the environment requires that the end effector \hboxposition is tracked and that the forces of contact are kept below certain reference values. For instance, in a rehabilitation session using ...
[EN] Although parallel manipulators started with the introduction of architectures with six degrees of freedom, a vast number of applications require less than six degrees of freedom. Consequently, scholars have proposed ...
