Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

One of the distinct features of 3-RRR spherical parallel manipulators with coaxial input axes (coaxial SPM) is the ability to perform infinite torsional motion of the manipulator mobile platform around its normal vectors. This paper presents a novel approach for infinite torsional motion generation of the coaxial SPM based on the author's revised approach for obtaining unique solutions to SPM kinematics and the methodology for numerical computation of the SPM configuration workspace. Numerical results demonstrate the application of the proposed approach for computing infinite torsional motion of a 3D model of a novel coaxial SPM design.
