Journal ArticleDOI
Innovative Silicon Microgrippers for Biomedical Applications: Design, Mechanical Simulation and Evaluation of Protein Fouling
Cristina Potrich,Lorenzo Lunelli,Alvise Bagolini,Pierluigi Bellutti,Cecilia Pederzolli,Matteo Verotti,Nicola Pio Belfiore +6 more
TL;DR: The presented microgrippers demonstrated having great potential as biomedical tools, showing a modest propensity to adsorb proteins, independently from the protein concentration and time of incubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Cold Arm Width and Metal Deposition on the Performance of a U-Beam Electrothermal MEMS Microgripper for Biomedical Applications
TL;DR: This paper presents a horizontal electrothermally actuated ‘hot and cold arm’ microgripper design to be used for the deformability study of human red blood cells (RBCs) and results conformed with those predicted by the numerical models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design, Modeling, and Testing of a Novel XY Piezo-Actuated Compliant Micro-Positioning Stage
TL;DR: A novel decoupled XY compliant micro-positioning stage, based on a bridge-type amplification mechanism and parallelogram mechanisms, is designed in this paper and the finite element method is used for simulation and modal analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Approach to the Extreme Miniaturization of Rotary Comb Drives
Andrea Veroli,Alessio Buzzin,Fabrizio Frezza,Giampiero de Cesare,Muhammad Hamidullah,Ennio Giovine,Matteo Verotti,Nicola Pio Belfiore +7 more
TL;DR: A nano-scaled rotary comb drive is herein introduced and obtained using NEMS technology, with an innovative design which takes advantages of the compliant mechanism characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grasping and Releasing Agarose micro Beads in Water Drops
Federica Vurchio,Pietro Ursi,Alessio Buzzin,Andrea Veroli,Andrea Scorza,Matteo Verotti,Salvatore Andrea Sciuto,Nicola Pio Belfiore +7 more
TL;DR: Three grasping-releasing based tasks have been successfully applied to agarose micro beads whose average size is about 60 μm, and the success of the performed tasks rely on the use of a microgripper previously designed, fabricated, and tested.

Book
Linear System Theory and Design
TL;DR: Striking a balance between theory and applications, Linear System Theory and Design, 3/e, is ideal for use in advanced undergraduate/first-year graduate courses in linear systems and multivariable system design in electrical, mechanical, chemical, and aeronautical engineering departments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid position/force control of manipulators
M. H. Raibert,J. J. Craig +1 more
TL;DR: A new conceptually simple approach to controlling compliant motions of a robot manipulator that combines force and torque information with positional data to satisfy simultaneous position and force trajectory constraints specified in a convenient task related coordinate system is presented.
Book
Fundamentals of microfabrication : the science of miniaturization
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of top-down and bottom-up manufacturing methods for micro-manufacturing is presented, with a focus on the use of micro-processors.
Book
Microsystem Design
TL;DR: In this article, a minor numerical error in going from Eq. 16.39 to eq.16.40 is found, which has an obvious effect on the calculations that follow, increasing the minimum detectable temperature change to about 2 mK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Piezoresistance Effect in Germanium and Silicon
TL;DR: In this article, the complete tensor piezoresistance has been determined experimentally for these materials and expressed in terms of the pressure coefficient of resistivity and two simple shear coefficients.
