Journal ArticleDOI
Downsizing Effects on Micro and Nano Comb Drives
TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of scaling on a test case compliant electrostatic micro or nano actuator that is under development with two preferred micro fabrication methods, namely, thick SOI and thin amorphous silicon, was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential design and fabrication considerations for the reliable performance of an electrothermal MEMS microgripper
TL;DR: A microgripper design based on the ‘hot and cold arm’ electrothermal actuation mechanism that is suitable to study the deformability properties of human red blood cells under healthy and pathological conditions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the Dynamics of a 2-DoF Actuation Unit Cell for a Cooperative Electrostatic Actuation System
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified analytical model of the AUC, which is a 2-Degree-of-freedom (2-DoF) gap-closing actuator, is presented, taking into account the major source of dissipation in the system, the squeeze-film damping (SQFD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning Micromanipulation, Part 2: Term Projects in Practice
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the activities that have been necessary to design, fabricate, control and test some low-cost test stands independently developed by the students enrolled in the course of Micro-Nano sensors and actuators for the postgraduate course in Industrial Nanotechnologies Engineering of the University of Rome La Sapienza.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remotely Actuated Optothermal Robotic Microjoints Based on Spiral Bimaterial Design
TL;DR: In this paper , a spiral bimaterial is used to construct laser-actuated microjoints, which can be remotely actuated in both air and water using two-photon polymerization technology.

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.
