Abstract: A novel flexible parallel manipulator is presented. Typical feature of this design is the adoption of long travel range flexible hinges and the centimeter-scale movement of the system. The kinematics of this manipulator is analyzed via the stiffness model of the long travel range flexure hinge. A calculation example of kinematics model is presented based on the Updated Lagrange formulation. Furthermore, corresponding kinematics simulation is executed to validate the kinematics analysis above.
