In the field of robotics and automation, the precise determination of manipulator positions is a fundamental aspect with widespread applications. Despite the significance of analytical methods, solving the Forward Kinematics (FK) for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) manipulator robots can be complex and computationally intensive. Our research introduces a method to address the FK problem for the four degrees of freedom (4-DoF) SCARA manipulator through Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). We utilize two different generated datasets, one with a fixed step size and another one based on a sinusoidal signal, for training the ANNs. This choice of datasets allows us to assess the ANN s' generalization capabilities across a range of operating conditions. Thereafter, the study is planned to investigate the ANN's performance while employing three distinct training algorithms: Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Bayesian Regularization (BR), and Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG). Through a comprehensive comparison of the performance of different ANN models, different training algorithms, and the two adopted generated datasets, this study provides valuable insights into selecting the most optimal training configurations for the SCARA robot's FK solutions. We employ the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and the error histogram as two performance metrics to assess the accuracy of various ANNs. The results reveal that optimal MSE outcomes were obtained when utilizing a balanced architecture with three hidden layers in the analysis of the sinusoidal-signal-based datasets.

This paper presents a hybrid mechanism for micro/nano positioning and manipulation by combining a piezoelectric actuator (PEA) and a voice coil motor (VCM) using a flexure bridge. The research investigates the behavior of the hybrid mechanism, designs the amplification mechanism, and characterizes and compares the dominant parameters through modal and finite element analysis. The models were designed using Solidworks software and optimized using response surface in ANSYS. The hybrid mechanism provides both long-range displacement and precision movement capabilities, making it suitable for micro-assembly, micro-manipulation, and microfluidics applications. The results illustrate that the amplification ratio of the flexure mechanism obtained by modal analysis was 4.38, which was 3.42% larger than that simulated by finite element model. The input stiffness of the flexure mechanism was 2231.81 N/mm, which is slightly lower than the figure calculated by Finite element analysis (FEA) at 2325.58 N/mm. However, the difference between the two output stiffnesses of this mechanism obtained by the two methods is close, standing at 1.60%.
With this review we summarize the current state of scientific studies in the field of MI (motor imagery) and ME (motor execution). We composed brain map and description which correlate different brain areas with type ...

This paper proposes a novel 3-DOF high-precision monolithic micropositioning mechanism. The goal of this study is to develop an out-of-plane parallel kinematic manipulator with low parasitic motion and a large workspace. The mechanism consists of three driving arms, and each driving arm features two snowflake hinges, each boasting with two degrees of freedom. The driving arms are driven by piezoelectric actuators (PEAs) coupled with double symmetric five-bar displacement amplification mechanisms. The displacement amplifier perpendicularly transforms the translational motion of the PEA; therefore, the design offers a small footprint. An investigation was conducted through finite element analysis (FEA) to study the proposed mechanism's performance and develop the inverse kinematic model. The mechanism offers a large workspace of $\pm 4.610\text{mrad} \times \pm 4.004\text{mrad}\times\pm 179.3\mu \mathrm{m}$ .
