“…It is shown that kinematic behavior of the compliant mechanism is greatly influenced by uncertain loads but the obtained topologies still contain hinges. In the work of Wang et al, a robust formulation is proposed, based on minimizing the expectation of Taguchi quantity loss function, to address the compliant mechanism problem under applied load and material properties uncertainties. Maute and Frangopol studied reliability‐based design optimization to design compliant mechanisms under boundary conditions and material property uncertainties.…”

“…However, it should be emphasized that the material dispersion and uncertain external forces are inevitable in practical engineering and some mechanisms, such as the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), are sensitive to the variations in material properties and applied loads . Under such circumstances, some researchers proposed the reliability‐based or robust topology optimization concepts in the design of the compliant mechanisms . Guo et al introduced a robust index of compliance under uncertain boundary as the optimization objective and conduct the topology optimization by virtue of the level set approach.…”

“…Hence, the aforementioned reliability‐based and robust topology optimization approaches may not be fulfilling in the situation that the output motion accuracy is the most important parameters to designers and engineers. Pedersen et al presented the minimum of motion error as the objective to design a compliant mechanism with an expected output motion in the deterministic assumptions firstly, then Wang et al proposed a robust topology optimization method that minimizes motion error of the output port considering uncertain material properties and external input forces.…”

“…Long et al introduced a formulation of RTO for structures considering the damage location and load uncertainty. Wang et al developed an RTO for compliant mechanisms with material and load uncertainties. Considering the uncertainty of boundary variations, Guo et al developed an RTO method based on a level‐set framework.…”
