Micromanipulation and nanomanipulation techniques have attracted much attention because of their potential utility not only in manufacturing fields but also in medical and bioengineering domains. Many prior systems have been developed to accommodate accurate positioning capability. However, changing the orientation of a manipulation probe is considered far more difficult in such systems than changing the translational position alone. The installation of a posture-changing mechanism, in general, requires a large complex apparatus or a highly expensive system. In this study, the author provides the posture-changing mechanism for micromanipulation at a reasonable cost using an offset planar hinge mechanism. In this report, the author presents a prototype system that has recently been developed.
