Microgrippers are commonly used for micromanipulation of micro-objects from 1 to 100 µm
and attain features of reliable accuracy, low cost, wide jaw aperture and variable applied …

This paper illustrates an experimental activity for the closed-loop position control of an
actuator made using shape memory alloy (SMA) wire. A solution with the self-sensing effect …

Expanding the gripping stroke is the key problem in the research of microgripper. Generally,
the magnification of the multi-stage amplifier is larger than that of the single-stage amplifier …

To meet the needs of present-day robotics, a family of gripping flexible fingers has been
designed. Each of them consists of a number of independent and flexible modules that can …

A parallelogram flexible hinge microgripper design made from aluminium alloy 7075-T6
material has been designed and manufactured with purpose of being able to manipulate a …

This paper presents the design and analysis of a novel 3-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF)
parallel manipulator equipped with self-sensing Ni-Ti (Nitinol) actuators. The manipulator's …

Four prototypes of a flexible finger, each made up of three actuator modules based on shape
memory alloy (SMA) wires, are experimentally studied in this research. A module is basically …
