DESCRIPTION: Dr Marijn Nijenhuis\, University of Twente\nAbstract\nFlexu
 re-based joints offer advantages in creating motion platforms with high re
 peatability. By harnessing the properties of elastic deformation\, these j
 oints operate with minimal hysteresis and zero play. This intentional desi
 gn for repeatability means that computer models with good predictive value
  can be constructed for the design optimisation and control of these syste
 ms.\nDuring this presentation\, I'll delve into how we integrate flexures 
 with hexapod manipulation systems. The aim is to design systems that not o
 nly operate with high repeatability and speed but also sidestep the typica
 l wear often seen in high-speed mechanisms.\n\nBiography\nMarijn Nijenhuis
  is an Assistant Professor at the Chair of Precision Engineering of the Un
 iversity of Twente in the Netherlands. He works on developing efficient mo
 delling techniques to better understand the multi-domain interactions in c
 omplex mechatronics systems. He has a background in flexure mechanisms for
  large range of motion applications\, specialising in simulations for the 
 design optimisation and motion control of elastically deforming systems.\n
