A Modified U-Shaped Micro-Actuator with a Compliant Mechanism Applied to a Microgripper
In this paper, a modified U-shaped micro-actuator with a compliant mechanism is proposed. It was analyzed with a uniform and modified thin arm, as well as a similar variation in the corresponding flexure, in order to observe the impact of the compliant lumped mechanism. The use of these compliant me...
