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
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.
