PT Journal AU Svetlik, J Demec, P TI Curved rotary module for modular construction of motion structures SO Acta Mechanica Slovaca PY 2011 BP 44 EP 49 VL 15 IS 1 DI 10.21496/ams.2011.006 DE Modular Machine; Rotation Module; Robotic Manipulator; Curved Rotary Module; Modular Construction; Robot Workspace; Serial Robot AB The article deals with the mechanics of modular machines and examines in detail the parameters of the principle of joining newly designed curved rotary modules into homogeneous serial kinematical chain with five degrees of freedom of movement. The result of analysis is generated workspace built on the basis of 60° curved rotary module with unlimited rotation for a serial kinematical structure with homogeneous 5DOF. ER
