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.

New Structural Design of a Compliant Gripper Based on the Scott-Russell Mechanism:
Wenji Ai,Qingsong Xu +1 more
TL;DR: The results not only demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed SR-based gripper design but also reveal a promising performance of the gripper when driven by piezoelectric stack actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medical and welfare applications of shape memory alloy microcoil actuators
TL;DR: In this article, an active bending soft tube using an SMA microcoil actuator is presented, which enables easier and more reliable passage at the lower end of the stomach (pylorus).
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and analysis of planar compliant microgripper based on kinematic approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an atlas of 28 different planar compliant linkages for two-finger micro grippers and the preliminary FEM simulation results are in good agreement with the expected kinematic motion.
