This paper proposes a new compliant gripper with integrated position and force sensors
dedicated to automated microassembly tasks. The uniqueness of the gripper is that it …

This paper presents the design and fabrication of a new microelectromechanical systems
microgripper with integrated electrostatic actuator and capacitive force sensor. One …

Although tissue and cell manipulation nowadays is a common task in biomedical analysis,
there are still many different ways to accomplish it, most of which are still not sufficiently …

This paper presents a novel piezo-driven microgripper for micromanipulation. A two-grade
amplification mechanism is introduced to enlarge the jaw displacement of the microgripper …

This paper presents the design, modeling and position/force control of a new piezo-driven
microgripper with integrated position and force sensors. The structural design of the …

This paper presents a force-controlled microelectromechanical systems rotary microgripper
with integrated electrothermal sensors. The proposed microgripper achieves a large …

The capability of accurately applying millinewton-level touch stimuli to Drosophila larvae
and simultaneously observing their resultant fluorescence responses in mechanosensitive …

Single-cell analysis and manipulation methods are becoming increasingly important for
fundamental research, as well as practical applications, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and …

This paper outlines the design and characterization of a setup used to measure the stiffness
of microcantilevers and other small mechanical devices. Due to the simplicity of fabrication …

Biomechanical assays offer a good alternative to biochemical assays in diagnosing disease
states and assessing the efficacy of drugs. In view of this, we have developed a miniature …
