A Submerged Freeze Microgripper for Micromanipulations [PDF]
Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007 Efficient, reliable and flexible handling is still very challenging in micromanipulation and micro-assembly. In this paper, we propose an original thermally actuated gripper based on the use of ice to manipulate submerged artificial micro-objects sized under 100 mum.

Universal Soft Robotic Microgripper [PDF]
Small, 2018 AbstractHere, a soft robotic microgripper is presented that consists of a smart actuated microgel connected to a spatially photopatterned multifunctional base. When pressed onto a target object, the microgel component conforms to its shape, thus providing a simple and adaptive solution for versatile micromanipulation. Without the need for active visual
