Design of compliant mechanisms by structural optimization using genetic algorithms.

Gripping and moving objects are the important functions in assembly and manipulating tasks typically accomplished by robots. But these conventional mechanisms are expensive and complicated. Also, compliant manipulators are necessary if small/micro size desired. Realizing these two functions within a...
