ABSTRACT
We introduce a new geometry manipulator, a tool for 2D geometrical object manipulations in drawing packages. The manipulator is an extended combination of two standard approaches. We performed an experiment, where users tested three types of manipulator. We evaluated the manipulators on perceived flexibility, efficiency of use, and subjective satisfaction. Our new manipulator scored high on all aspects.

A three-DOF translational manipulator with decoupled geometry
A new 3-DOF translational parallel manipulator is presented in this paper. This manipulator has decoupled motion in for x, y, and z axes, and employs only revolute joints. The structure and kinematics of the manipulator are studied. The mechanism ...
Dynamics of the 6-6 Stewart parallel manipulator
Recursive matrix relations in kinematics and dynamics of the 6-6 Stewart-Gough parallel manipulator having six mobile prismatic actuators are established in this paper. Controlled by six forces, the manipulator prototype is a spatial six-degrees-of-...
Vibration Control of a Planar Parallel Manipulator Using Piezoelectric Actuators
This paper presents an active damping control approach applied to piezoelectric actuators attached to flexible linkages of a planar parallel manipulator for the purpose of attenuation of unwanted mechanical vibrations. Lightweight linkages of parallel ...
