Design and Development of a Slender Dual-Structure Continuum Robot for In-Situ Aeroengine Repair (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 IEEE. In-situ aeroengine maintenance works (e.g. inspection, repair) are highly beneficial as it can significantly reduce currently accepted maintenance cycle which is extensive and costly due to the need to remove engines from the wing of an...

Design and stiffness analysis of A class of 2-DoF tendon driven parallel kinematic mechanism (2018)
Journal Article

2-DoF Rotational mechanism is increasingly utilized in a large range of industrial applications. However, the structures of most of the existing mechanisms are very complex, which is a significant challenge for building them, due to the tight tolera...

MiRoR—Miniaturized Robotic Systems for Holistic In-Situ Repair and maintenance works in restrained and hazardous environments (2018)
Journal Article

This letter presents the novel concept of a miniaturized robotized machine tool, Mini-RoboMach, consisting of a walking hexapod robot and a Slender Continuum Arm. By combining the mobility of the walking robot with the positioning accuracy of the mac...

Development of a slender continuum robotic system for on-wing inspection/repair of gas turbine engines (2016)
Journal Article

The maintenance works (e.g. inspection, repair) of aero-engines while still attached on the airframes requires a desirable approach since this can significantly shorten both the time and cost of such interventions as the aerospace industry commonly o...

A Novel Continuum Robot Using Twin-Pivot Compliant Joints: Design, Modeling, and Validation (2015)
Journal Article

A twisting problem is identified from the central located flexible backbone continuum robot. Regarding this problem, a design solution is required to mechanically minimize this twisting angle along the backbone. Further, the error caused by the kinem...
