Designing a decoupled spherical parallel mechanism based on curved flexures: The development of a remote center of motion mechanism based on curved flexures and introducing a novel quantitative assessment method for rotary axis drift

Compliant mechanisms and decoupled parallel mechanisms are topics of high interest. The combination has been manifested for lower-mobility mechanisms, yet not attempted for higher degrees of freedom. The scarcity is countered by designing a decoupled compliant spherical parallel mechanism (DCSPM), having three independent rotational degrees of...
