Performance Decomposition and Integration of a Five-Degrees-of-Freedom Compliant Hybrid Parallel Micromanipulator

The research and development of parallel manipulators generally has two major streams, i.e. the macro/meso stream and the micro/nano stream, in which the former one has been thoroughly investigated in recent decades, while the latter one still remains many performance related open issues that significantly affect their application potentials in critical situations such as high-precision automated cell manipulation. This research is to develop a …
