Human Driven Compliant Transmission Mechanism
2021 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021Energetically-passive robot exoskeletons, mimicking the function of the bicycle, could enable humans to reach previously unprecedented mobility. However, energetically-passive robot exoskeletons require a sophisticated mechanism to enable the human to supply energy, similar to what is enabled by the variable gear transmission mechanism of the bicycle ...

A Compliant On/Off Connection Mechanism for Preloading Statically Balanced Compliant Mechanisms
Volume 4: 36th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2012Static balancing is an important contribution to compliant mechanisms enabling low operating force, thus allowing high mechanical efficiency. Preloading is generally needed in statically balanced compliant mechanisms, which at smaller scales presents a significant challenge. Physical handling of zero-force structures without causing damage also becomes

On the Classification of Compliant Mechanisms and Synthesis of Compliant Single-Strip Mechanisms
Volume 6: 35th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2011Compliant mechanisms, unlike rigid-body mechanisms, are devices that derive some or all of their mobility due to the deformation of their flexible members. The knowledge of existing rigid-body mechanism synthesis techniques is very useful in designing compliant mechanisms.

Compliant Mechanism Prototyping
Volume 7B: 26th Biennial Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, 2000Abstract Flexible segments present challenges to prototyping compliant mechanisms. This paper discusses methods for prototyping compliant mechanisms, including use of 3-axis CNC milling, laser cutting, and wire EDM. Rapid prototyping methods and hybrid methods are also discussed.

Construction of Compliant Mechanisms
2020Following the design of flexible elements in Chap. 3, their integration is further discussed in this section, which eventually leads to the construction of compliant mechanisms. The typical integration type of flexible elements includes serial, parallel and hybrid.

Journal of Mechanical Design, 2008
This paper presents an alternative to fabrication methods commonly used in compliant mechanisms research, resulting in a new class of compliant mechanisms called wireform mechanisms. This technique integrates torsional springs made of formed wire into compliant mechanisms.

On the Mobility of Compliant Mechanisms
23rd Biennial Mechanisms Conference: Machine Elements and Machine Dynamics, 1994Abstract The topological synthesis for a compliant mechanism leads to a very large number of design options from which to select a final design. Therefore, an evaluation of a mechanism’s ability to meet selected criteria provides a means of reducing a large number of possible designs to a smaller set of acceptable designs.

An Introduction to Mechanical Advantage in Compliant Mechanisms
18th Design Automation Conference: Volume 2 — Geometric Modeling, Mechanisms, and Mechanical Systems Analysis, 1992Abstract An energy approach is utilized to determine mechanical advantage in compliant mechanisms by duly accounting for lost work due to deformation. Three mechanical advantage types are then defined which examine the isolated influences of various parameters.

Dynamical Limit of Compliant Lever Mechanisms
Journal of Mechanical Design, 2008The application of the mechanical energy conservation principle sets a dynamical limit to the performances of compliant lever mechanisms endowed with a positive definite strain energy. The limit applies to every linear compliant lever and is given as an upper bound on the product between the static effective gain of the device and its bandwidth.

A computational design tool for compliant mechanisms
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2017We present a computational tool for designing compliant mechanisms. Our method takes as input a conventional, rigidly-articulated mechanism defining the topology of the compliant design. This input can be both planar or spatial, and we support a number of common joint types which, whenever possible, are automatically replaced with parameterized ...
