Additional information

This paper is one of the key outputs from the EPSRC grant EP/I016333/1 (£101k). It is the first publication on a 3 degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator (PM) with a planar operation mode and a spatial operation mode, which is one class of disassembly-free reconfigurable PMs conceptualized by Kong. Together with Kong’s other publications on disassembly-free reconfigurable PMs, such as Kong’s Freudenstein/General Motors Young Investigator Award winning conference paper https://sites.google.com/site/asmemrc/awards/young-investigator-award-recipients at the prestigious 36th ASME Mechanisms and Robotics Conference in USA in 2012, this paper laid the foundation for the development of reconfigurable PMs for rapid changeover.
