A Sarrus-like overconstrained eight-bar linkage and its associated Fulleroid-like platonic deployable mechanisms (2018)
Journal Article
Xiu, H., Wang, K., Wei, G., Ren, L., & Dai, J. (2020). A Sarrus-like overconstrained eight-bar linkage and its associated Fulleroid-like platonic deployable mechanisms. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 234(1), 241-262. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406218816343

This paper, for the first time, presents an overconstrained spatial eight-bar linkage and its application to the synthesis of a group of Fulleroid-like deployable platonic mechanisms. Structure of the proposed eight-bar linkage is introduced, and con...

A reconfigurable hybrid wheel-track mobile robot based on Watt II six-bar linkage (2018)
Journal Article
Luo, Z., Shang, J., Wei, G., & Ren, L. (2018). A reconfigurable hybrid wheel-track mobile robot based on Watt II six-bar linkage. Mechanism and Machine Theory, 128(10), 16-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2018.04.020

This paper presents the design and development of a novel reconfigurable hybrid wheel-track mobile robot (RHMBot). This new reconfigurable mobile robot is constructed based on a Watt II six-bar linkage; through structure reconfiguration, it can provi...
