Parallel kinematic machines have been applied in aerospace and automotive manufacturing due to their potentials in high speed and high accuracy. However, there exists coupling in parallel kinematic machines, which makes dynamic analysis, rigidity enhancement, and control very complicated. In this article, coupling characteristics of a 5-degree-of-freedom (5-dof) hybrid manipulator are analyzed based on a local index and a global index. First, velocity analysis as well as acceleration analysis of the robot is conducted to provide essential information for dynamic modeling. Then the dynamic model is built based on the principle of virtual work. Whereas the mass matrix is off-diagonal, a local coupling index as well as a global index is defined, based on which coupling characteristics of the robot are analyzed. Results show that distributions of coupling indices are symmetric due to its structural features. And dimensional parameters, structural parameters, as well as mass parameters have a large influence on the system's coupling characteristics. Research conducted in the article is of great help in optimal design and control. Meanwhile, the method proposed in the article can be applied to other types of parallel kinematic machines or hybrid manipulators.

This study presents a novel rod-cable hybrid planar cable-driven parallel robot inspired by the biological synergy of bones and muscles. The design integrates rigid rods and flexible cables to enhance structural stability and precision in motion control. The rods emulate bones, providing foundational support, while the cables mimic muscles, driving motion through coordinated tension.

Background: The mechanical properties of framework materials significantly influence stress distribution and the long-term success of implant-supported prostheses. Although titanium, cobalt-chromium, zirconia, and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) are widely used, their biomechanical performance under dynamic loading conditions remains insufficiently investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of four framework materials with different Young's modulus using dynamic finite element stress analysis.

This paper deals with neuro-registration using tele-manipulation (Master-Slave Manipulation) to facilitate tele-surgery and enhance the overall accuracy and reach of the robot-assisted neurosurgery. Accurate Neuro-registration is important as the success of the surgical procedure highly depends on it. A 6-degree-of-freedom Parallel Kinematic Mechanism (6D-PKM) master-slave robot in tele-manipulation mode is utilized for both neuro-registration and neurosurgery.

Dendrites are crucial for receiving information into neurons. Sensory experience affects the structure of these tree-like neurites, which, it is assumed, modifies neuronal function, yet the evidence is scarce, and the mechanisms are unknown. To study whether sensory experience affects dendritic morphology, we use the ' arborized nociceptor PVD neurons, under natural mechanical stimulation induced by physical contacts between individuals.

Cell collectives, like other motile entities, generate and use forces to move forward. Here, we ask whether environmental configurations alter this proportional force-speed relationship, since aligned extracellular matrix fibers are known to cause directed migration. We show that aligned fibers serve as active conduits for spatial propagation of cellular mechanotransduction through matrix exoskeleton, leading to efficient directed collective cell migration.
