A Novel 4-DOF Origami Grasper With an SMA-Actuation System for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Marco Salerno

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is one of the most challenging techniques for robot designers due to the limited size of access points, the high miniaturization level, and the dexterity needed for performing surgical tasks. Conversely, only a few microfab ...

Monolithic transparent 3D dielectrophoretic micro-actuator fabricated by femtosecond laser

Yves Bellouard, Tao Yang

We demonstrate a three-dimensional (3D) monolithic micro-actuator fabricated by non-ablative femtosecond laser micromachining and subsequent chemical etching. The actuating principle is based on dielectrophoresis. An analytical modeling of this actuation s ...

Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Actuators with Ion Implanted Electrodes

Herbert Shea, Muhamed Niklaus, Samin Akbari

We present the design, fabrication process and characterization of multilayer miniaturized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based dielectric elastomer diaphragm actuators. The conductive stretchable electrodes are obtained by lowenergy metal ion implantation. T ...

Large Hybrid High Precision MEMS Mirrors

Dara Zaman Bayat

This thesis presents the design and microfabrication technology of a tip-tilt, 2 degree of freedom "mirror system" made out of Silicon On Insulator (SOI) wafers with two movable mirrors that have diameter of 10 mm. The system was intended for precise beam ...

Vertical electrostatically 90° turning flaps for reflective MEMS display

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Fabio Jutzi

A new kind of MEMS reflective display is being developed having high contrast and reflectivity, better than on printed paper. The system is based on novel vertical flaps, which can be electrostatically turned by 90° to horizontal position. After fabricatio ...

Low voltage electrostatic 90° turning flap for reflective MEMS display

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Fabio Jutzi, François Gueissaz

A low voltage electrostatically actuated 90° turning flap is modeled and fabricated. The application is a new kind reflective, low-power, MEMS-based display with high contrast and reflectance. The system consists of a poly-silicon flap fabricated onto a si ...
