In this paper, we present a recent survey on robotic grippers. In many cases, modern
grippers outperform their older counterparts which are now stronger, more repeatable, and …

An atlas of 98 microgrippers that recently appeared in Literature is herein presented by
using four different forms:(a) a restyled layout of the original mechanical structure,(b) its …

This article provides an overview of the operational strategies adopted in microgrippers
design. The review covers microgrippers recently proposed in Literature, some of which …

A noncontact method that can achieve immobilization, transportation, and rotation in the
microscale is desired in biological micromanipulation. A multifunctional noncontact …

This paper presents a novel electrostatic micro-tweezers to manipulate particles with
diameters up to 14 μ m. The tweezers consist of two grip-arms mounted to an …

This paper presents a force-controlled microelectromechanical systems rotary microgripper
with integrated electrothermal sensors. The proposed microgripper achieves a large …

A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) rotary microgripper incorporating electrothermal
force sensors is reported. The device is fabricated using a standard SOI-MEMS process and …

Symmetric micro-gripper mechanism is very easy way to destroy the micro-components or
parts for nonuniform force in the processing of micro-assembly. Aiming at the requirements …

In this paper, a dynamic releasing approach is proposed for high-speed biological cell
manipulation. A compact parallel mechanism for grasping and releasing microobjects is …

This paper reports the development and displacement self-sensing of a new four degrees-of-
freedom (DOF) piezoelectric micromanipulator. In particular, each micromanipulator arm can …
