Abstract

We present preliminary results of the design of a mini inparallel 3-d.o.f. positioning system called MIPS. MIPS degrees of freedom are one translation and two orientations, which are obtained by the motions of linear magnetic actuators acting within a special in-parallel mechanical architecture. Its overall width will be about 1cm for a length of about 3cm. MIPS should be useful in medical applications and in inspection tasks.
