Keywords: Compliant mechanisms, flexure, pseudo-rigid-body model, topology optimization, precision engineering, MEMS, micro-positioning, elastic deformation.

Compliant mechanisms have emerged as a transformative paradigm in precision engineering, offering inherent advantages over rigid-body counterparts by exploiting elastic deformation to achieve motion. This review paper presents a comprehensive survey of design methodologies, analytical frameworks, fabrication strategies, and precision applications of compliant mechanisms. Topics covered include topology optimization, pseudo-rigid-body modelling, flexure-based design, material selection, and performance metrics relevant to high-precision systems. Special emphasis is placed on micro/nano-positioning stages, MEMS devices, surgical robotics, and optical alignment systems. Current challenges such as stress concentration, limited range of motion, and thermal sensitivity are critically assessed, and emerging trends including multi-material designs, additive manufacturing integration, and AI-driven optimization are outlined. This review aims to provide a structured reference for researchers and engineers pursuing next-generation precision instruments.
