About

Eka Marliana is a researcher in robotics and mechanical engineering, with a focused interest in the design and kinematics of parallel manipulators. Her work centers on the analysis of three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) translational parallel machines, particularly the 3-PUU (Prismatic and Universal joints) mechanism. Her most-cited paper, "Design and Kinematics Analysis of 3-PUU Translational Parallel Machine" (2023, 4 citations), builds upon foundational work by Tsai and Joshi, offering a detailed kinematic analysis that demonstrates the mechanism’s potential for pure translational motion. Marliana’s contribution lies in advancing the practical application of this manipulator, specifically proposing its use as a welding robot—a role that demands precise, repeatable movement. While her citation count is modest, her work represents a meaningful step in bridging theoretical kinematics with industrial robotics. By refining the design and motion analysis of the 3-PUU, she provides a foundation for future research in automation and manufacturing. Marliana’s research is particularly relevant for students and engineers exploring cost-effective, high-precision robotic systems for specialized tasks like welding, where accuracy and simplicity are paramount.
