Design and kinematic analysis of mechanisms. Course topics include linkage synthesis and motion analysis (position, velocity and acceleration), cam, gear and power train design, and technical ...

His research interests include kinematic synthesis and analysis, robotics and multi-degree-of-freedom mechanisms. Pennock’s awards and recognitions include the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ...

It provides a means to make simple kinematic mechanisms easier to implement with standard general-purpose motion controllers. Kinematic mechnisms are replacing Cartesian-based mechanisms on automated ...

The latest parallel kinematic mechanisms — hexapods — are significantly more accurate and dynamically stable than old iterations. Put them to work in your next positioning application to ...
