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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Recent design and development of piezoelectric-actuated compliant microgrippers: A review
Zekui Lyu,Qingsong Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent advances on performance indices, classification, structural composition, optimization and modeling method, and control of PEACM and provided a guideline on further development of the micro gripper.

Adaptive identification and control of hysteresis in smart materials
Xiaobo Tan,John S. Baras +1 more
TL;DR: This paper addresses recursive identification and adaptive inverse control of hysteresis in smart material actuators, where hystereresis is modeled by a Preisach operator with a piecewise uniform density function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force tracking in impedance control
Homayoun Seraji,Richard Colbaugh +1 more
TL;DR: Two simple on-line schemes for force tracking within the impedance-control framework are presented, demonstrating that the adaptive schemes are able to compensate for uncertainties in both the environmental stiffness and location.
Book
Piezoelectric Sensorics: Force Strain Pressure Acceleration and Acoustic Emission Sensors Materials and Amplifiers
TL;DR: A background of piezoelectric sensors can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the role of force and torque sensors, strain sensors, acceleration sensors, and acceleration sensors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Stabilization of electrostatically actuated mechanical devices
J.I. Seeger,S.B. Crary +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated devices can be avoided by the simple addition of a series capacitance, which can be used to avoid the need for a series capacitor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrostatic micromechanical actuator with extended range of travel
E.K. Chan,Robert W. Dutton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a series capacitor is employed to extend the effective electrical gap of the actuator and to provide stabilizing negative feedback, and the effects of residual charge are analyzed.
