A compliant constant-force mechanism is a passive force regulation device that can
generate a nearly constant output force over a range of input or output displacements while …

This study presents a topology optimization method to synthesize an innovative compliant
finger for grasping objects with size and shape variations. The design domain of the …

This study presents a multimaterial topology optimization method for design of multimaterial
compliant mechanisms. Traditionally, the objective function in topology optimization for …

This article presents an innovative, motor-driven, three-finger compliant gripper for adaptive
grasping of size-varied delicate objects. An optimized compliant finger design is identified …

This study presents an optimal design procedure, including topology and geometry
optimization methods to design a compliant constant-force mechanism, which can generate …

In the past decade, a rich repertoire of soft robots, designed from biomimetic and intuitive
approaches, has been developed to overcome challenges faced by their rigid-bodied …

In this paper, a systemic approach to design and fabricate a multimaterial soft gripper is
proposed. Driven by pneumatic pressure, the soft material inside the gripper acts as …

Compliant mechanisms are flexible structures which can generate the desired motion by
undergoing elastic deformation instead of through rigid linkage/joints as in rigid body …

Aerial grasping empowers unmanned aerial vehicles to find applications beyond structured
logistics. However, it brings a number of challenges including inaccurate positioning of the …

This study presents the design of an underactuated, two-finger, motor-driven compliant
gripper for grasping size-varied unknown objects. The gripper module consists of one main …
