The level of precision for such a large displacement is something that may influence many actuator design and can bring about good changes particularly in the mechanical actuator design
@eblman5218 The Parallel Axis Tripteron Concept" by Rudmin may have the same motion range, but it is full of linear ball bearings and rotating ball bearings. All these bearings have friction, play, backlash and cause rumble due to the imperfect bearing surfaces, Also, The upper arms of the Tripteron carry bending loads, while the upper arms in this video only carry pure tension/compression loads. In other words, the precision and repeatability of the Tripteron are no match for those of this flexure-based mechanism. Additionally: the Tripteron has only TxTyTz translational freedom, while the flex concept has all six DOF's: TxTyTz and RxRyRz.
Where are the 6DOF ? I saw only 3. The final manipulated object can move only up/down, left/right, front/back. It can’t revolve around x,y and z axis, or can it ?
It's hard to believe if Flexure joints will be able to apply very high forces needed in aerospace, manufacturing, motion simulators and other applications you are showing.
It's not only a technical delicacy but also a delicacy for my eyes! I like it. 👍👍

a truly amazing application of compliant mechanisms! congratulations
i can't believe they have brought also the counterweight principle back to life.
Utterly impressive
It's repeatability is mind-blowing. What was it's repeatability under max load?
Massive caveat there, since it depends on those flexible "ball joints"
that may deform in very creative ways under stress
Very cool, big props to whoever designed this.
The magic of flexures!
Impressive. I wonder, what is the repeatability in variable load conditions. Like in the mentioned assembly or milling applications.

I thought it was 100 microns at first but I just realized it was 100 nanometers😂
Absolutely insane!
Excellent work!
Hexapodia is clearly the key insight.
Congratulations team UTwente... Prachtig...
What is the purpose of the outside plate of the revolute joint?
Counterweight probably
@@Sx107music my thoughts exactly.
Supremely based

In the beginning you can see it rotating

What is the maximum dynamic load in kilogram!?
hell yea dude, could stick a radar on there
Wooooooow super 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Is this mostly mechanical engineering?
Woah tsmc
Shut up and take my money ! 😍
Flexapod
No way 200mm dynamic range and Sub micron repeatability!?😱😳🤯
Right? This is honestly insane
