Mak, Robin (author), Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)Differential mechanisms are remarkable mechanical elements that are widely utilized in various systems; nevertheless, conventional differential mechanisms are heavy and difficult to use in applications with limited design space. In this paper, a curved lightweight compliant type of differential mechanism is presented. This mechanism acquires...conference paper 2022

Amoozandeh, A. (author), Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)A design tool for passive wrist support using compliant spatial beams as gravity balancer is presented. The aim of this assistive device is to reduce required effort for pronation-supination and flexion-extension by 70% to help patients with muscular weakness keeping their hand’s posture and doing daily tasks, while the forearm is rested. To...conference paper 2021

Radaelli, G. (author), Herder, J.L. (author)A new monolithic fully compliant gravity balancer is designed with help of a design approach based on shape optimization. The balancer consists of one single complex-shaped beam on which the weight is attached. The beam is modeled as a planar isogeometric Bernoulli beam. The goal function of the optimization consists of an energy based...conference paper 2015
