Toward Operations in a Surgical Scenario: Characterization of a Microgripper via Light Microscopy Approach
Federica Vurchio,Pietro Ursi,Francesco Orsini,Andrea Scorza,Rocco Crescenzi,Salvatore Andrea Sciuto,Nicola Pio Belfiore +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical microscope has been shown to play an important role in MEMS characterization at room conditions, which is supported by the statistical analysis of two series of measurements, obtained by a light trinocular microscope and a profilometer.

A Disposable Pneumatic Microgripper for Cell Manipulation with Image-Based Force Sensing.
Benjamin Gursky,Sebastian Bütefisch,Monika Leester-Schädel,Kangqi Li,Barbara Matheis,Andreas Dietzel +5 more
TL;DR: A new design for a single-use disposable pneumatic microgripper that enables very cost-effective batch microfabrication in SU-8 with a single lithography mask by shifting manufacturing complexity into reusable components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Validation of a Single-SOI-Wafer 4-DOF Crawling Microgripper
TL;DR: This paper deals with the manipulation of micro-objects operated by a new concept multi-hinge multi-DoF (degree of freedom) microsystem, composed of a planar 3- doF microstage and of a set of one-Dof microgrippers, and it is arranged is such a way as to allow any micro-object to crawl over the stage.

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.

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.

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.
