Sažetak
Micro and nano positioning have been intensively researched due to their enabling role in many modern research fields. In these fields compliant mechanisms have been widely used due to number of advantages over conventional rigid body mechanisms. Using the deflection of their frame members the compliant mechanisms offer advantages in friction, noise, backlash and maintenance. The possibility of producing whole positioning system out of one piece, without need for assembly is especially interesting in micro and nano positioning applications as the assembly may be hard or impossible to perform. Despite their numerous advantages, difficult analysing and designing has significantly slowed their applicability in commercial products. The motivation for this paper is to present current state-of-the-art solutions in compliant mechanisms used for high precision small scale positioning. It involves the general principles of compliant mechanisms design with traditionally used design solutions with details about their advantages and weaknesses. In contrast to the traditional approach, modern methods for the optimization of compliant geometry which could provide platform for simpler and faster development of new designs will be presented with current state of the research in the field.
