This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of nanomanipulator concepts, designs and practices
in research, prototyping and fabrication of nanodevices. Limitations of existing …

In this paper, a novel concept of two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) compliant forceps is
suggested for the measure of pulling and grasp forces at the tip of surgical instrument for …

The platform of a hexapod is constrained to be a part of the structure whose six degrees of
freedom are constrained by six linearly independent line constraints. The six line constraints …

This paper proposes a novel method for analyzing linear series elastic actuators (SEAs) in a
parallel-actuated Stewart platform, which has full six degrees-of-freedom (DOF) in position …

Parallel mechanism has been studied for several decades. It has various advantages such
as high stiffness, high accuracy and high payload capacity compared to the commonly used …

In this article, a novel method for the systematic design of a planar three-degrees-of-freedom
compliance device with desired compliance characteristics is presented. For the realization …

(57) ABSTRACT A joint motion simulator to simulate biomechanical motion includes a mount
to which a prosthetic device is mounted, actuators coupled to the mount to drive the mount …

This paper presents an analysis of a planar tensegrity-based mechanism. In this study, a
moving body is joined to ground by four compliant leg connectors. Each leg connector is …

A great challenge for mechanical devices is environment interaction. Indeed, while
machines excel in pick-and-place tasks, they are rather poor in operations such as running …
