On the synthesis of compliant mechanisms
Proceedings. 1991 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002In the study of mechanisms, there is a significant set of problems for which the solutions require the application of techniques from the fields of both kinematic and elastic issues. Through an emphasis on a geometrical interpretation of these subjects, the authors formulate and solve a number of questions which arise in the design of compliant devices.

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 ...

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

Compliant Mechanisms for MEMS and Flexonics
2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2008Summary form only given. A continuum compliant mechanism transmits applied forces from specified input ports to output ports by elastic deformation of its comprising materials, fulfilling required functions analogous to a rigid-body mechanism. It has a large range of applications in both micro and macro domains.

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.

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.
