An electro-thermal silicon-polymer micro-gripper for simultaneous in- plane and out-of-plane motions
An electro-thermal micro-gripper for both in-plane clamping and out-of-plane motion is presented. The device consists of both in-plane and out-of-plane actuators. Each gripper arm performs a 7.4 μm in-plane and a 14 μm out-of-plane motion at 1.6 V and 2.5V actuation voltage, respectively. The maximum temperature and power consumption are 180 °C and 26.5 mW and 80 °C and 87.3mW for the in-plane ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Motion of Micro-Gripper Exposed to the Electric Field and Thermal Stresses for Using in Micro-Robotics
Micro system technology is a relatively new scientific research that deals with the development and study of properties of materials in micro dimensions. Micro-grippers are widely used in switching, positioning, and assembling micron sized components in micro-robotics. In this study, the static and dynamic behavior of visco-elastic Micro-Tweezers under the thermal and electrostatic field is...
متن کامل3D-Printed Self-Folding Electronics.
Self-transforming structures are gaining prominence due to their general ability to adopt programmed shapes each tailored for specific functions. Composites that self-fold have so far relied on using the stimuli-responsive mechanisms focusing on reversible shape change. Integrating additional functions within these composites can rapidly enhance their practical applicability; however, this rema...
متن کاملModelling, control and simulation of a micro electro-mechanical actuator (MEMS) for micro-gripper operation in DNA manipulation
This project deals with the modelling, control and simulation of a micro electro-mechanical actuator for micromechatronical tweezers in DNA-manipulation processes. I. THE MICRO-MECHATRONICAL PROCESS The manipulation of biological molecules by using micromechanical and optical devices such as: magnetic tweezers [1], [2], optical tweezers [3], AFM cantilevers [4] and microfibers [5], [6], are now...
متن کاملA chaotic self-oscillating sunlight-driven polymer actuator
Nature provides much inspiration for the design of materials capable of motion upon exposure to external stimuli, and many examples of such active systems have been created in the laboratory. However, to achieve continuous motion driven by an unchanging, constant stimulus has proven extremely challenging. Here we describe a liquid crystalline polymer film doped with a visible light responsive f...
