"One Dof Thumb Mechanism and It's Dimensional Optimization", International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies and Innovative Technologies, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 131-134.2602-48882602-4888http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/4810– This paper involves the geometrical representation, kinematic solution and dimensional optimization of a one degree of freedom parallel thumb mechanism. The aim of the designing of this mechanism grasping objects by mimicking of a human thumb. Link length optimization of the mechanism are made around an average human thumb sizes by using Firefly Algorithm which is a nature inspired optimization algorithm.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessThumb MechanismNumerical SynthesisKinematic SynthesisParallel MechanismsFirefly AlgorithmArticle32131134
