Unlike conventional robotics where rigid links and discrete joints dominate, this course treats compliance as a design feature rather than a nuisance, drawing heavily on biomechanics and bioinspiration to understand how deflection, elasticity, and structural flexibility shape motion. You'll work through Howell's compliant mechanisms framework alongside kinematics fundamentals (Jacobians, loop closure, DoF analysis), tackle six quizzes and two projects that connect physics-based models to real fabrication constraints, and validate designs experimentally. It sits at the intersection of mechanism design, dynamics, and manufacturing, making it a natural bridge between your earlier rigid-body mechanics courses and research-flavored work in soft robotics or biomechatronics.
