MODELING OF A PARALLEL RECONFIGURABLE ROBOT WITH SIX DEGREES OF MOBILITY AND ITS CONFIGURATIONS WITH FIVE, FOUR, THREE AND TWO DEGREES OF MOBILITY

Dorin Bogdan LEŞE, Nicolae PLITEA

Abstract


Reconfigurable robots are more and more studied, due to the flexibility they offer to the user. This flexibility exists because reconfigurable robots may be configured to have different geometries in order to cope with different industrial tasks. This work presents Recrob – an innovative reconfigurable robot and it’s reconfiguration possibilities.  

Key words: parallel robot, reconfiguration, reconfigurability, geometric modeling, design.
