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.

Piezoresistive Feedback Control of a MEMS Thermal Actuator
TL;DR: In this paper, the piezoresistive microdisplacement transducer (PMT) is used as a feedback sensor for closed-loop control of a thermomechanical inplane microactuator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prototype Fabrication and Preliminary In Vitro Testing of a Shape Memory Endovascular Thrombectomy Device
Ward Small,Thomas S. Wilson,P.R. Buckley,William J. Benett,J.M. Loge,J. Hartman,Duncan J. Maitland +6 more
TL;DR: An electromechanical microactuator comprised of shape memory polymer and shape memory nickel-titanium alloy was developed and used in an endovascular thrombectomy device prototype, a promising tool for treating ischemic stroke without the need for infusion of clot-dissolving drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microgrippers fabricated by the LIGA technique
Sylvain Ballandras,Skandar Basrour,Laurent Robert,S. Megtert,P. Blind,M. Rouillay,P. Bernede,William Daniau +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study devoted to the design and fabrication of micro grippers using the LIGA technique is described, and the design method is presented and validated by the use of finite-element analysis.
