..., non-smooth paths. Such paths can be traced by rigid-body or partially compliant mechanisms as well but the complexity, bulkiness and the presence of hinges is a disadvantage in terms of increased friction, backlash, need for lubrication, noise, and vibrations. In designing CCMs, both curved frame...

... of freedom is becoming increasingly important. However, due to the requirement of several delicate medical procedures to have minimally invasive robots to perform surgery, there is also a significant need to miniaturize surgical robots [( 21 ), 22 ]. assembling hinges injection moulding machine...

...Guimin Chen; Xiaoyuan Liu; Yunlei Du Flexure hinges have been used to produce frictionless and backlashless transmissions in a variety of precision mechanisms. Although there are many types of flexure hinges available, designers often chose a single type of flexure hinge (e.g., circular flexure...
