Description:: The need for low-cost robust meso-scale "smart" robots (manipulators) that have no discrete parts (monolithic), no sensors ("self-sensing") and can be used in space-constrained systems, e.g., in microfactories, biomedical applications, etc., was the motivation for the current research. This study describes the design, fabrication and analysis of such a smart...
