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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simulation and construction of a mems CSFH based microgripper
Giovanni B. Broggiato,Marco Balucani,Nicola Pio Belfiore,Alvise Bagolini,Pierluigi Bellutti,Matteo Verotti,Maurizio Boscardin,Rocco Crescenzi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the design, simulation, construction process and experimental analysis of a micro gripper, which makes use of a new concept hinge, called Conjugate Surfaces Flexure Hinge, which combines a curved cantilever beam, as flexible element, and a pair of conjugate surfaces whose contacts depend on load conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Implantable Microactuated Intrafascicular Electrode for Peripheral Nerves
TL;DR: An innovative approach to increase the selectivity and the lifetime of polyimide-based intrafascicular electrodes is developed to obtain a neural interface that is able to restore a good signal quality by improving the electrical connection between the active sites and the surrounding axons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of an electro-thermally actuated cell microgripper
Sonia Iamoni,Aurelio Soma +1 more
TL;DR: The presented work deals with the analysis of an electro-thermally actuated microgripper for single-cell manipulation of biological particles for micromanipulation of cells.
