Bird-Inspired Spatial Flapping Wing Mechanism via Coupled Linkages with Single Actuator
Daniel Huczala, Sun-Pill Jung, Frank C. Park
Spatial single-loop mechanisms such as Bennett linkages offer a unique combination of one-degree-of-freedom actuation and nontrivial spatial trajectories, making them attractive fo…
Computer-Aided Design of Rational Motions for 4R and 6R Spatial Mechanism Synthesis
Daniel Huczala, Severinas Zube, Martin Pfurner +2
This paper focuses on geometric methods for generating rational motions used in the design of single-loop rational linkages, 1-degree-of-freedom mechanisms that can execute prescri…
Direct Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics, and Motion Planning of 1-DoF Rational Linkages
Daniel Huczala, Andreas Mair, Tomas Postulka
This study presents a set of algorithms that deal with trajectory planning of rational single-loop mechanisms with one degree of freedom (DoF). Benefiting from a dual quaternion re…
Rational Linkages: From Poses to 3D-printed Prototypes
Daniel Huczala, Johannes Siegele, Daren A. Thimm +2
In this paper, a set of tools is introduced that simplifies the synthesis and rapid-prototyping of single-loop rational kinematic chains. It allows the user to perform rational mot…
