Self-Folding Single Cell Grippers
Given the heterogeneous nature of cultures, tumors, and tissues, the ability to capture, contain, and analyze single cells is important for genomics, proteomics, diagnostics, therapeutics, and surgery. Moreover, for surgical applications in small conduits in the body such as in the cardiovascular system, there is a need for tiny tools that approach the size of the single red blood cells that tr...
متن کاملOptimum Design of Self Centering Grippers
Scopul sintezei cinematice a mecanismelor este determinarea dimensiunilor elementelor componente, în condiţiile impuse prin mişcările unor puncte sau elemente. Rezolvarea unei astfel de probleme se reduce la rezolvarea unui sistem de ecuaţii neliniare. Ca urnare, problemele de sinteză cinematică nu au soluţii unice. Pentru oprimizarea dimensiunilor unui mecanism de prehensiune, funcţia obiectiv...
متن کاملCell Origami: Self-Folding of Three-Dimensional Cell-Laden Microstructures Driven by Cell Traction Force
This paper describes a method of generating three-dimensional (3D) cell-laden microstructures by applying the principle of origami folding technique and cell traction force (CTF). We harness the CTF as a biological driving force to fold the microstructures. Cells stretch and adhere across multiple microplates. Upon detaching the microplates from a substrate, CTF causes the plates to lift and fo...
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 کاملTransparent grippers for robot vision
While existing grippers execute manipulation tasks, they occlude parts of the objects they grasp as well as parts of the workspace from vision sensors. We present the concept of a transparent gripper that enables vision sensors to image an object without occlusion while it is being manipulated. The physics of refraction, total internal reeection, lens eeects, dispersion and transmit-tance are a...
