4-axis electromagnetic microgripper
Proceedings 1999 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.99CH36288C), 2003This paper describes a novel 4-axis microgripping system consisting of two fingers, each driven by a 2-axis moving coil actuator taken from a CD-lens assembly. These electromagnetic actuators are small, very linear, virtually frictionless and low cost. We measured the electrical actuator parameters and characterized the actuator performance in terms of

Compliant Microgripper for In-Vitro Biological Manipulation
2022We present a feasibility study on biological tissue and cell manipulation by a novel, multi-hinge microgripper characterized by high dexterity and complex in-plane tips displacement, while being at the same time highly compact and easy to manufacture via MEMS technology. The device was obtained by combining selective flexibility with planar fabrication

Micropeg manipulation with a compliant microgripper
2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.03CH37422), 2004This paper presents analytical, simulation and experimental results from a study of compliant insertion tasks in microassembly. Gripper compliance is desirable to compensate for positional errors and to prevent the breakage of a gripper during assembly tasks.

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2003
Describes the benefits of using electroadhesion when handling very delicate, polished and/or coated optical and electro‐optical microcomponents. Electroadhesion is a technique already familiar to those working in the semiconductor industry and is eminently suitable for the handling of microcomponents in air, gas or vacuum.

Design of topologically optimal microgripper
2008 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2008This paper presents a topological-optimization method which applies the theory of ground structure parameterization to design and analyzes a microgripper device. The study defines the compliant design domain as 2000 mum times 2000 mum with a 200 mum thickness, and discusses the effect of different optimization parameters.

In this paper precise specifications are given for a microgripper based on a polyarticulated micromechanism. This polysilicon gripper actuated by Scratch Drive Actuators (SDA) has dimensions of 1.2mm × 1.6mm and a thickness of 4.5µm . The stroke of its jaws is about 275µm each, with a stroke ratio of 5.

Design Tradeoffs for Electrothermal Microgrippers
Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007Microgrippers based on electrothermal actuation were designed and fabricated using the deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process with 100mum thick silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer. The design requirements are restricted to basic manipulation tasks such as pick and place, and nonprehensile manipulation.

A large number of microgrippers has been developed in industry and academia. Although the importance of hybrid integration techniques and hence the demand for assembly tools grows continuously a large part of these developments has not yet been used in industrial production.

Electrostatically driven microgripper
Microelectronic Engineering, 2002Abstract In this work we report on microactuators and microgrippers fabricated from SOI (silicon-on-insulator) wafers by a surface and bulk micromachining fabrication technology. The main advantages of this technology are: (a) large thickness of the devices (10–40 μm) resulting in devices which are stable against disturbing forces perpendicular (z ...

Integrated fabrication of a microgripper
Journal of Shanghai University (English Edition), 1999Successful implementation of simple mechanism on silicon chip is a prerequisite for monolithic microrobotic systems. This paper describes the integrated fabrication of polycrystalline silicon microgripper. Link, fixed and active joint, and sliding flange structures with dimensions of micrometers have been fabricated on the substrate of monocrystalline ...
