A Comprehensive Survey on Microgrippers Design: Mechanical Structure
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Electrothermal Actuators and Applications
Alissa Potekhina,Changhai Wang +1 more
TL;DR: A review of electrothermal micro-actuators and applications is presented in this paper, where the three main configurations of electro-thermal actuators are discussed: hot-and-cold-arm, chevron, and bimorph.

Survey on Recent Designs of Compliant Micro-/Nano-Positioning Stages
Zeyi Wu,Qingsong Xu +1 more
TL;DR: This paper is concentrated on reviewing the state-of-the-art research on complaint micro-/nano-positioning stage design in recent years and involves the major processes and components for designing a compliant positioning stage, e.g., actuator selection, stroke amplifier design, connecting scheme of the multi-DOF stage and structure optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operational characterization of CSFH MEMS Technology based hinges
TL;DR: A CSFH has been analyzed with both theoretical and finite element methods, in order to obtain the relation between voltage and generated torque, and showed that CSFH performs better than linear flexure hinges in terms of larger rotations and less stress for given applied voltage.

Adhesion forces reduction for micro manipulation based on micro physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new handling strategy of the micro objects based on the Micro Physics and made a prototype of the Micro gripper, which is used to control and manipulate micro objects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelization and characterization of asymmetrical thermal micro-actuators
TL;DR: In this article, a very high aspect ratio (HOR) structure is used to produce thermal flexure actuators which are capable of large motion produced by thermal expansion, but the magnitude of the deflection depends on geometry and material properties.
