Journal ArticleDOI
Micromanipulation: A challenge for actuation
TL;DR: This Special Issue of Actuators, which is dedicated to micromanipulation, offers a contribution to the development of some promising methods to actuate a microsystem for micromanIPulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and characterization of a polymer electrothermal microgripper with a polynomial flexure for efficient operation and studies of moisture effect on negative deflection
TL;DR: In this article, an SU-8-based electrothermal micro gripper with embedded Au thin film heaters is presented, which combines a Z-shape chevron actuator and a polynomial-shape flexure to convert the driving force into rotational movement of the microgripper arm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and modeling of a compliant gripper with parallel movement of jaws
TL;DR: A compliant gripper with parallel movement of jaws is developed that can maintain the gripping of the object with no energy consumption and stable fixation due to rotary motion of opposing gripping arms of traditional tweezer-like grippers is alleviated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Structure Thickness, Air Gap Thickness and Silicon Type on the Performance of a Horizontal Electrothermal MEMS Microgripper
TL;DR: In this paper, different design variants of a horizontal electrothermally actuated MEMS microgripper that are developed as microsystems to micromanipulate and study the deformability properties of human red blood cells (RBCs) are presented.

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.
