Temporary fixing systems for applications in Microrobotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on temporary fixing systems for microrobotics. Several solutions from the state of the art are presented and compared: solutions based on mechanical bending, electromagnetic elements, electrostatic forces, glues, polymers or Van der Waals forces. From this analysis, we designed and developed a new system based on thermal glue (that permits to exchange the tip part of a microgripper) for microassembly stations. This system brings a high flexibility and compactness for microrobotic applications.

Microrobotics deals with the design, fabrication and control of microrobots to perform tasks in the microworld (i.e. the world of submillimetric objects). While end-effectors experienced considerable developments, few works concerned the development of microrobot architectures adapted to the microworld. Most of the actual robots are bulky and based on the miniaturization of traditional architec...
