Analysis of the novel flexure parallel micromanipulators based on multi-level displacement amplifier with/without symmetrical design

Conventional flexure-based parallel micromanipulators (FPM) usually suffer from a small stroke. The performance of a FPM is highly related to the stroke of each actuated limb and the associated constraints, including non-actuated joints. To conquer the drawbacks of the small workspace of conventional FPMs, a device for displacement amplification could improve motion ranges when incorporated into the design of the actuated limbs.
