Abstract: Displacement-amplifying compliant mechanisms (DaCMs) reported in literature are widely used for actuator applications. This paper considers them for sensor applications that rely on displacement ...

Abstract: In this paper, we implement a characterization based on eigentwists and eigenwrenches for the synthesis of a compliant mechanism at a given point. For 2D mechanisms, this involves characterizing ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present three designs for a decoupled, two-dimensional, vision-based micro-Newton (μN) force sensor for microrobotic applications. There are currently no reliable, multi-axis, ...
