Elastic and viscoelastic characterization of microcapsules for drug delivery using a force-feedback MEMS microgripper.
This paper reports a monolithic, force-feedback MEMS (microelectomechanical systems) microgripper and its application to micro-scale compression testing of swollen hydrogel microcapsules at wet state during manipulation. The single-chip microgripper integrates an electrothermal microactuator and two capacitive force sensors, one for contact detection (force resolution: 38.5 nN) and the other fo...
متن کاملMicroassembly of 3-D MEMS structures utilizing a MEMS microgripper with a robotic manipulator
This paper describes the process of bonding a MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical System) microgripper to the distal end of a robotic manipulator arm using a molten solder bonding technique. This task is part of ongoing work which involves the development of a general microassembly workstation. The goal of this workstation is to construct 3-D microstructures from MEMS subcomponents. The microgrippers...
متن کاملApex Seals for a MEMS Rotary Engine
This paper presents possible solutions to the problem of leakage in the MEMS rotary engine currently being developed at U.C. Berkeley. The project is motivated by the challenge to develop a system capable of a higher specific energy than primary batteries. Currently, leakage is the limiting factor in obtaining an engine with an acceptable efficiency. Fluidic analysis has been done to determine ...
متن کاملNanonewton force-controlled manipulation of biological cells
As mechanical end-effectors, microgrippers enable the pick–transport–place of micrometer-sized objects, such as manipulation and positioning of biological cells in an aqueous environment. This paper reports on a monolithic MEMS-based microgripper with integrated force feedback along two axes and presents the first demonstration of forcecontrolled micro-grasping at the nanonewton force level. Th...
متن کاملMEMS Bragg grating force sensor.
We present modeling, design, fabrication and characterization of a new type of all-optical frequency modulated MEMS force sensor based on a mechanically amplified double clamped waveguide beam structure with integrated Bragg grating. The sensor is ideally suited for force measurements in harsh environments and for remote and distributed sensing and has a measured sensitivity of -14 nm/N, which ...
