The piezoelectric-actuated compliant microgripper (PEACM) plays an essential role in the
application fields such as biomedical engineering, microelectronics, and optical …

In this paper, we report on the design, modeling, and experimental testing of a piezoelectric-
driven microgripper making use of both an integrated gripping force sensor and an …

This paper describes the development of a microgripper mechanism capable of delivering
high precision and fidelity manipulation of micro objects. The mechanism adopts a flexure …

This paper presents the design and development of a high precision microgripper for
micromanipulation. The design is based on a hybrid flexure-based compliant mechanism …

This paper presents a novel robust generalised impedance control methodology for piezo-
actuated flexure-based four-bar micro/nano manipulation mechanisms. This control …

Flexure-hinged displacement amplifiers play an important part in ultra-precision engineering
due to their advantages of no friction, no backlash, compactness, high resolution and so on …

In a micro-manipulation system, the compliant gripper is used for gripping, handling and
assembling of objects. Large displacement and anti-buckling characteristics are desired in …

Polarization maintaining optical fiber (PMOF) is a kind of special optical fiber that is
designed to transmit the linearly polarized light. Unlike the general optical fiber, it is critical to …

Complaint micro grippers for medical applications need to be precise, automated in a
smooth manner performing painless surgery to the patient. In this paper design of the …

A review on existing systems for handling micro-parts was carried out recently by the
authors. The work was focused on the analysis of the main problems which limit the …
