High resolution miniature rotary microactuator

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

For the development of high precision mobile microrobots with a size of about one cm3, capable of micromanipulation tasks, small and precise actuators have to be developed in order to provide the microrobot and its manipulation tools with the required degr ...

Position Feedback for Microrobots based on Scanning Probe Microscopy

Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Marc Breguet, Ashwin Lal, Walter Driesen

A cluster of small cooperative robots capable of executing measurement and manipulation tasks is being developed within the scope of a European project. The robots are autonomous and have an overall dimension in the order of 1 cm/sup 3/. In this paper we p ...

Micro manipulation by adhesion with two collaborating mobile micro robots

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

A micro manipulation platform consisting of several cm3-sized 4 DOF micro robots has been developed by EPFL. This paper discusses four different strategies for grasping, transferring and releasing a micro object by manipulation by adhesion. The strategies ...

Energy Consumption of Piezoelectric Actuators for Inertial Drives

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

Energy consumption is a major issue for inertial drives with piezoelectric actuators that are integrated in autonomous devices. This paper discusses some theoretical aspects and some experimental results about the energy consumption of inertial drives with ...

Development of Miniature Manipulators for Applications in Biology and Nanotechnologies

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

In the precision engineering industry, research and development is undertaken towards the development of microfactories, miniaturized environments for fabrication and assembly of small components. Micro handling and micromanipulation, especially in biology ...

Monolithic piezoelectric push-pull actuators for inertial drives

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

In many miniature systems for positioning and especially in microrobotics the assembly of the components becomes difficult. At sizes of systems of a few cm2 not only the assembly becomes more difficult, downscaling also means that single parts become more ...
