Dear all,

the publishers ITECH based in Vienna have established their so-called
Advanced Technology Open Access Platform where the journal papers and
scientific books are copiable. This makes these documents available to
anyone at anytime, in a sense, this the equivalent of GNU to
publising.

They have recently published two interesting books containing the
latest scientific trends about parallel robots:

1- Parallel Manipulators, Towards New Applications

ISBN 978-3-902613-40-0
hard cover, 506 pages
Edited by: Huapeng Wu

2- Parallel Manipulators, New Developments

ISBN 978-3-902613-20-2
hard cover, 498 pages
Edited by: Jee-Hwan Ryu

http://s.i-techonline.com/Book/Parallel-Manipulators-New-Developments...

In the first book, you can download the latest article that I have
published about parallel manipulator kinematics, namely:
Certified Solving and Synthesis on Modeling of the Kinematics.
Problems of Gough-Type Parallel Manipulators with an Exact Algebraic
Method

This includes new material and also theoritial information on how the
resultant (or dyallitic elimination) can add spurious solutions
(making it far from a garanteed method to find all solutions) or the
homothopy (or continuation method) can miss some solutions.
