This paper introduces a novel high-precision compliant mechanism-based 3-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) positioning stage with a large range and planar layout. The design incorporates a cartwheel revolute flexure and compound basic parallelogram (CBP) prismatic flexure modules arranged in series to establish a PPR-kinematic chain. Three such kinematic chains are symmetrically arranged at 120° to each other around the output platform. This design ensures large deformation and high dynamic performance while minimizing cross-coupling and parasitic motion. The compliance matrix method (CMM) is utilized to establish the stiffness model of the designed mechanism. Computational analysis is performed to validate the developed analytical model. Moreover, the reachable workspace, inverse kinematics, and dynamic performance of the proposed stage are investigated. A workspace of 4.6 mm × 5.1 mm × 83 mrad is achieved while maintaining a high natural frequency of 58 Hz. From the analysis, the proposed stage can be adopted in micro-manipulation applications that require high-precision motion over an extended range.

Modeling and control of soft robotic systems remains a challenging and active field of research, especially for robots actuated with shape-memory-alloys (SMA). Difficulties in controlling SMA-actuated robots arise in modeling the nonlinearities of the SMA dynamics as well as accounting for their hysteresis behavior. This article helps address these challenges by using sensorization of the end effector along with SMA actuators combined with a simplified two-axis pendulum model to implement an optimal control scheme on a soft digit. The control stack presented uses a direct collocation method (DIRCOL) for initial trajectory optimization, with the actual state of the soft digit then captured and used to refine the system inputs using Iterative Learning Control (ILC) to increase trajectory tracking accuracy. The system is demonstrated on hardware, achieving very close trajectory tracking performance for two-dimensional motion tasks.

This article introduces an approach to provide privacy control on live video feeds using a pretrained D NN model. Due to privacy being a major concern in today's world, this approach would ensure the blurring of the faces in live feeds on a real-time basis to protect the privacy of participants. Users are also provided with the liberty to selectively blur/unblur the face of any specific participants as required, thereby providing enhanced flexibility and control over privacy settings during live video conferences or communications. The proposed approach also lets users upload a picture of someone. This ensures that the person's identity stays unobfuscated in the video stream. This feature comes in handy when some people are required to be seen, for example, in work meetings and online conferences. The developed solution can blur faces in real time and let users unblur or keep certain faces clear. This gives users a complete set of tools to handle privacy concerns. It tackles the growing concerns about facial privacy in our digital world. This solution enhances privacy during live video calls by utilizing advanced computer vision to selectively blur unwanted faces while maintaining clear visibility of intended participants.
