A new geometric notation for open and closed-loop robots

This paper presents a new geometric notation for the description of the kinematic of open-loop, tree and closed-loop structure robots. The method is derived from the well-known Denavit and Hartenberg (D-H) notation, which is powerful for serial robots but leads to ambiguities in the case of tree and closed-loop structure robots. The given method has all the advantages of D-H notation in the case of open-loop robots.
