In this work, a multi-objective optimization design method is proposed based on principal
component analysis (PCA) and a neural network to obtain a mechanism's optimal …

The degree of freedom (DOF) and motion characteristics of a kind of compliant spherical
joint were analyzed based on the screw theory, and a new design scheme for force …

Conventional miniaturized motion stages have a volume of 50–60 cm 3 and a range of
motion around 100 μm. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based motion stages …

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers are used for many applications, such as
microfluidics and micro-engineering. This paper presents a new process of integrating soft …

Parallel kinematic machines (PKMs) have demonstrated their potential in many applications
when high stiffness and accuracy are needed, even at micro-and nanoscales. The present …

This paper presents a unified formulation for the kinematics, singularity and workspace
analyses of parallel delta robots with prismatic actuation. Unlike the existing studies, the …

The purpose of this research is to design a novel parallel kinematic micro-electro-
mechanical systems (MEMS) XY nanopositioner. It is challenging to design a MEMS XY …

For a spherical four-bar linkage, the maximum number of the spherical RR dyad (R: revolute
joint) of five-orientation motion generation can be at most 6. However, complete real solution …

This paper presents a flexure pressure sensor fabricated by means of 3D printing. This
sensor combined with a biosimulant artifact from the National Institute of Standards and …

The article is devoted to the issues of the numerical solution of the forward kinematics of the
6DOF Gough-Stewart platform. The problem was formulated for the related parameters of …
