Design and Smooth Position/Force Switching Control of a Miniature Gripper for Automated Microhandling
TL;DR: The design, implementation, and control of a piezoelectrically actuated compliant gripper with combined position and force monitoring/control capabilities is presented and the proposed incremental-based switching control outperforms conventional approach in terms of position/force regulation accuracy and operation time.
Journal ArticleDOI
A hydrogel-based intravascular microgripper manipulated using magnetic fields
TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetic hydrogel-based microgripper that can be wirelessly manipulated using magnetic fields is presented, which can move freely in liquids when driven by direct current (dc) magnetic fields, and perform a gripping motion by using alternating current magnetic fields.
