An Investigation on a Novel 3-RCU Flexible Micromanipulator

A novel type of spatial three revolute-cylindrical-universal (3-RCU) flexible micro manipulator is designed based on flexible hinges, and analyzed by finite element analysis (FEA). The piezoelectric actuators are adopted as driving devices in this platform, a new lever amplification mechanism is des...
