Abstract:
Input-output kinematics of a novel, exoskeletal manipulator mechanism has been analysed. The abstract model is two equilateral tetrahedral wire frames which move relatively so that their edges remain in intersecting, parallel or coincident pairs. A mechanical, rigid body model was constructed and a computer animation was performed.
