abstract   bibtex   
This work presents the design of a high-resolution micro-positioner for prostate cancer treatment with hydrodynamic cavitation. In order to effectively utilize the cavitating behavior of bubbles, a compliant mechanism is optimized for high positioning accuracy at its task space. In particular, the design problem of a micro-positioner is conducted in two steps: type selection and dimensional synthesis. In the type selection, a compliant triglide mechanism is chosen as the main kinematic structure of the micro-positioner, while in the dimensional synthesis, the maximum of the Frobenius norm of the Jacobian on the overall workspace is minimized. CAD model of the optimal design is presented.
