Modular and Reconfigurable 3D Micro-Optical Benches : Concept, Validation and Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an approach to design MOEMS based on Reconfigurable Free Space Micro-Optical Benches (RFS-MOB). The proposed concept enables to design modular and reconfigurable MOEMS by using a generic structure of silicon holders and non defined position in the substrate. Various micro-optical elements, e.g. microlenses or micromirrors, can be integrated within holders. Their assembly is achieved with an active microgripper, after high precision alignement within guiding rails of silicon substrate. Flexible parts are used to maintain a final position. The concept is validated by successful assembly of holders. A characterization method of assembled holders is proposed and provides an accuracy better than ± 0.04◦ for an angle measurement.

Micro Self-Reconfigurable Robotic System using Shape Memory Alloy
This paper presents micro self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems using shape memory alloy (SMA). The system is designed so that various shapes can be autonomously formed by a group of identical mechanical units. The unit realizes rotational motion by using an actuator mechanism composed of two SMA torsion coil springs. We have realized micro-size prototype units and examined their fundamen...

Recently we proposed the concept of so-called Light Robotics including the new and disruptive 3Dfabricated micro-tools coined Wave-guided Optical Waveguides that can be real-time optically manipulated and remote-controlled with a joystick in a volume with six-degrees-of-freedom. Exploring the full potential of this new ‘drone-like’ light-driven micro-robotics in challenging microscopic geometri...
متن کاملTowards micro-assembly of hybrid MOEMS components on reconfigurable silicon free-space micro-optical bench
The 3D integration of hybrid chips is a viable approach for the micro-optical technologies to reduce the costs of assembly and packaging. In this paper a technology platform for the hybrid integration of MOEMS components on a reconfigurable free-space silicon micro-optical bench is presented. In this approach a desired optical component (e.g. micromirror, microlens) is integrated with removable...
