Modeling and Design Enhancement of Electrothermal Actuators for Microgripping Applications

Microgrippers are miniature tools that have the capability to handle and manipulate micro- and nano-scale objects. The present work demonstrates the potential impact of the incorporation of perforations on a ‘hot and cold arm’ electrothermal actuation mechanism in order to improve the operation of m...
