This paper introduces a novel dexterous overconstrained 2-DOF parallel wrist with a large
singularity-free range of motion. This mechanism produces a 2-DOF sphere on sphere pure …

In order to enlarge the proportion of constant-torque output, a new type of constant-torque
flexure hinge based on line-arc-line segment (LAL-CTFH) is designed. The LAL-CTFH has …

Compliant universal joints have been widely used in many applications such as precision
transmission mechanisms and continuum robots. However, their nonlinear spatial analysis …

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 …

Abstract Space antenna pointing is key to establishing inter-satellite and earth-satellite
communication links. Compared with the traditional electromagnetic driven mechanism for …

This paper presents a new compliant universal joint using four identical generic sheet
flexures (short sheets) and a long wire beam. The compliant joint is compact and in mirror …

This paper addresses the algebraic synthesis of novel single-loop 6R spatial mechanisms,
enabling constant-1: 1 or 1: 1 velocity ratio transmission between two adjacent axes …

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 …

This research is about designing multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) compliant
mechanisms with decoupled inputs that can be independently locked/unlocked using …
