This paper presents the design, simulation and characterization of a V-shape thermal actuator, which incorporates silicon/SU-8 composite. The design exploits the confined SU-8 layers in the composite for effective thermal actuation. The micro-fabricated actuator (1000-µm long, 56 ...
This paper presents a novel 2D electro-thermal microgripper based on integrated silicon-polymer laterally stacked forward actuators. Displacements up to 8 and 13 µm along x-axis and y-axis at 2 V are measured. The microgripper is capable of rotating the clamped object both clockw ...
This paper presents simulation and measurement results characterizing a novel design of an electro-thermally actuated micro-gripper for micro-particles manipulation. The gripper structure consists of a comb-like, high aspect ratio silicon frame with an integrated aluminum heater ...
