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.

Shape memory effect of TiNi-based springs trained by constraint annealing
Jiangan Wang,Jianxin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, shape memory effect (SME) behaviors of TiNi-based shape memory alloys springs trained by constraint annealing treatments were investigated, and the results indicated that SME behaviors were determined by constraints and chemical composition of alloys.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Vision-based control of SMA-actuated polymer microgripper with force sensing
Ren-Jung Chang,C. C. Shiu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a vision-based control of SMA-actuated polymer gripper with force sensing is implemented and tested, where the gripper motion is tracked by utilizing computer-vision method through extended Regional Edge Statistics (ERES) algorithm.
