Flexure hinge has been commonly used as a substitute for mechanical joints in the design of micropositioning mechanisms. However, inaccurate modeling of flexure hinges deteriorates...
In previous papers, I have argued that while parallel mechanisms are well known for their favorable structural properties, their utility is generally limited by an inherently small...
— In this paper, the design of a new active cardiac stabilizer, Cardiolock2, is presented. Following the proof of concept Cardiolock [7], this device allows an active stabilizati...

A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
