Abstract
This Thesis evaluates the kinematics, statics, and dexterity of planar active scaffolding structures. These active structures are types of kinematically-redundant truss-based manipulators. The structures are combined and incorporated into a human-lift called the active scaffolding system. The active scaffolding system is advantageous in many work environments because it is compact and provides 3-dimensional motion. There are many steps necessary for proper design and implementation of the active scaffolding system, they are as follows: kinematic design, dynamic design, control system design, structural design, optimization, and experimental hardware. This Thesis lays the ground work necessary to achieve these design goals.
