Abstract

Compliant structures and mechanisms represent the base parts of the broad class of micro-robotic or sensory devices. The crucial problem in designing compliant mechanisms is that their flexural characteristics can not be exactly derived as in cases of classic structures with revolute joints. For this reason, the experimental approach should be applied in design procedures. This paper describes the optical experimental equipment and vision-based technique that enable to measure and to evaluate real performance characteristics of models, or final compliant structures, especially real motions/deflections of structures/particular segments, force - compliance characteristics and dynamics.
