Development of a shape-memory-alloy micromanipulator based on integrated bimorph microactuators

This paper reports a novel structure of a shape-memory-alloy (SMA) micromanipulator with gripping mechanism. A featured integration of multiple SMA bimorph microactuators has been utilized to form a micromanipulator with three degrees of freedom. The design consists of two links (SMA sheets) and a g...
