The Realization of Actuating and Sensing Integrated Gripper System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Most of traditional manipulator does not meet experimental requirements of micromanipulation for its large structure and complicated driven mode. Comparatively speaking, using actuating and sensing performance of IPMC gripper can well be applied to specific micro operations and mechanical testing environment. This paper designs one kind of IPMC gripper of actuating and sensing performance based on micro operation and micro assembly, which is applied to grab the cells and fix under a microscope.
