Folding is a manufacturing method which can create complex 3D geometries from flat
materials and can be particularly useful in cost-sensitive or planar-limited fabrication …

This paper presents a fully compliant, potentially monolithic, power transmission mechanism
which can rectify a large lateral offset between two parallel rotational axes. The planar …

This paper presents a method for the design of compliant micro transmission mechanisms
which multiply the motion frequency of a cyclic input motion. Compliant embodiments are …

The ability to convert reciprocating, ie, alternating, actuation into rotary motion using
linkages is hindered fundamentally by their poor torque transmission capability around …

Gears are foundational tools used to transmit or modify mechanical energy or motion.
Implementing gears into planar linkage mechanisms is less common but can be a similarly …

Microtransmission mechanisms made of elastic materials present an opportunity for
exploring scalable mechanical systems integrated with sophisticated functionalities. This …

Compliant mechanisms have been applied successfully in many quasi-static applications.
However, the dynamics of these mechanisms remain largely unexplored. In particular …

The ability to convert reciprocating, ie, alternating, actuation into rotary motion using
linkages is hindered fundamentally by their poor torque transmission capability around …

The high compactness of cycloidal gearboxes, their low backlash and their capability to
withstand overloads are just some of the factors that have led the research to focus on these …
