Multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) piezoelectric motion stage is an important part of
modern manufacturing industry. In order to perform high precision outputs in a large travel …

The development of a high-performance three-axis serial-kinematic nanopositioning stage is
presented. The stage is designed for high-bandwidth applications that include video-rate …

In this paper, a concept of totally decoupling is proposed for the design of a flexure parallel
micromanipulator with both input and output decoupling. Based on flexure hinges, the …

For robot manipulators subject to unmeasurable/uncertain plant parameters, this article
designs a new adaptive motion controller, which ensures positioning errors to converge to …

This paper reports the design, analysis and testing of a parallel two degree-of-freedom piezo-
actuated compliant stage for XY nanopositioning by introducing an innovative hybrid …

This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-
based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The …

This paper presents the mechanical design and dynamics of a 3-DOF (degree of freedom)
flexure-based parallel mechanism. Flexure hinges are used as the revolute joints to provide …

Micro/nano manipulators using piezoelectric actuators are extensively applied in precision
manipulation fields. In this article, a novel 2-DOF micro/nano manipulator with compact …

This paper presents a novel compliant parallel XY micromotion stage driven by piezoelectric
actuators (PZT). With the purpose to obtain complete kinematic decoupling and good …

In this paper, we investigate continuum manipulators that are analogous to conventional
rigid-link parallel robot designs. These “parallel continuum manipulators” have the potential …
