GALLARDO-ALVARADO, J  and  LESSO-ARROYO, R. Jerk analysis of a module of an artificial spine by means of screw theory. J. appl. res. technol [online]. 2009, vol.7, n.3, pp.249-257. ISSN 2448-6736.

In this work, a novel parallel manipulator is introduced with the purpose of simulating the jerk analysis of the end of the spine. The displacement analysis is presented in a semi-closed form solution whereas the velocity, acceleration and jerk analyses are carried out by means of the theory of screws.

Keywords : Parallel manipulator; spine; screw theory; jerk analysis; kinematics.
