Abstract

The paper presents some aspects of anthropomorphic mechanisms modelling. Thus, considering biomechanical criteria regarding the human superior limb, a structural synthesis for two different types of anthropomorphic mechanisms (serial and parallel respectively) was made. Also, for a parallel anthropomorphic mechanism, the direct and inverse geometrical model is presented.
