    Distance-based formulations for the position analysis of kinematic chains 

    Rojas, Nicolàs (Date of defense: 2012-06-20)

    This thesis addresses the kinematic analysis of mechanisms, in particular, the position analysis of kinematic chains, or linkages, that is, mechanisms with rigid bodies (links) interconnected by kinematic pairs (joints). ...

    Experimental and model-based analysis for performance and durability improvement of PEM fuel cells 

    Strahl, Stephan (Date of defense: 2014-11-07)

    Solving robotic kinematic problems : singularities and inverse kinematics 

    Zaplana Agut, Isiah (Date of defense: 2018-09-14)

    Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies, and systems of bodies without considering the forces that cause such motion. For serial robot manipulators, kinematics consists of ...
