Simulation Driven Design of a Novel Compliant Parallel Mechanism for Medical Micromanipulation

The development of new compliant parallel mechanism (CPM) based on simulation driven design is a rapid approach to discover the unique features or advantages of conceptual model. In this research, a novel CPM which can generate three degrees-of-freedom translations are proposed. The kinematic model is derived. The finite element analysis is conducted to prove the feasibility of the proposed design.
