— Efficient, reliable and flexible handling is still very challenging in micromanipulation and micro-assembly. In this paper, we propose an original thermally actuated gripper b...
— Microrobots experience physical phenomena that are difficult to model analytically and that are not completely captured with macro-scale prototypes. In this paper we present a...
