Topology Optimal Compliant Microgripper

open access: yesJSME International Journal Series A, 2006
This study proposes a MEMS microgripper design based on a compliant mechanism, utilizing the multi-input method to obtain greater output force and displacement. The compliant mechanism is very effective because the mechanism has flexible pieces that transmit force or deliver motion.
