In this paper, we suggest a novel transmission for the DC motor-based flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FWMAVs). Most FWMAVs employ linkage structures, such as crank-rocker or crank-slider, which are designed to transmit motor’s rotating motion wing’s flapping motion. These transmitting linkages have shown successful performance; however, they entail possibility of mechanical wear originatin...

Repeated and intensive gait training can improve muscle strength movement coordination of patients with neurological or orthopedic impairments. However, conventional physical therapy by a physiotherapist is laborious expensive. Therefore, this not accessible for the majority patients. This paper presents six-bar linkage mechanism human rehabilitation natural ankle trajectory. Firstly, selected ...

Six-bar linkages have been used in some prosthetic knees in the past years, but only a few publications have been written on the special functions of the mechanism as used in transfemoral prosthesis. This paper investigates the advantages of the mechanism as used in the prosthetic knee from the kinematic and dynamic points of view. Computer simulation and an experimental method were used in the...

The morphing trailing edge could realize a continuous smooth deformation compared with conventional edge, which effectively improves the aerodynamic performance. In this paper, multi-step optimization design of watt six-bar transmission mechanism for is proposed. first stage, most effective shape and bar position in middle determined. second six link proposed by using genetic algorithm to match...

This paper summarizes the work done in context of an industrial research project collaboration between Italian Institute Technology and company Fameccanica Data Spa. introduces design a six bar linkage mechanism, actuated by single motor, for re-orienting aligning objects. The main application consists grasping empty bottles lying flat on input conveyor, rotating, placing them upright position ...
