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.

A sensorized /spl mu/electro discharge machined superelastic alloy microgripper for micromanipulation: simulation and characterization
TL;DR: The main features of the new microgripper are the use of a superelastic alloy to improve flexure performance by lowering stresses induced and the /spl mu/EDM fabrication technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topology Optimal Compliant Microgripper
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a MEMS microgripper design based on a compliant mechanism, utilizing the multi-input method to obtain greater output force and displacement, which is very effective because the mechanism has flexible pieces that transmit force or deliver motion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Design and control of a MEMS micro-gripper with integrated electro-thermal force sensor
TL;DR: The experimental results show that the MEMS micro-gripper can successfully grasp and release the micro-object while tunning the gripping force in real time.
