   Abstract : This thesis presents methods for the wafer-level integration of shape memory alloy (SMA) and electrostatic actuators to functionalize MEMS devices. The integration methods are based on heterogeneous integration, which is the integration of different materials and technologies. READ MORE

5. 3. On Motion Control of Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators

   Author : Martin Hochwallner; Petter Krus; Kalevi Huhtala; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuator; novel actuator; linear hydraulic actuator; tracking problem; hydraulic servo system; digital fluid power;

   Abstract : Linear Incremental Hydraulic Actuators combine one or more short-stroke cylinders, and two or more engaging/disengaging mechanisms into one actuator with long, medium, or even unlimited stroke length. The motion of each single short-stroke actuator concatenated by the engaging/disengaging mechanisms forms the motion of the linear incremental hydraulic actuator. READ MORE

   Abstract : There is an increasing interest for miniaturised actuators in a number of technological fields such as automation or medicine (e.g. prostheses, medical pumps etc.). READ MORE

7. 5. Polymer Actuators for Micro Robotic Applications

   Author : Erik Edqvist; Stefan Johansson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Micro actuator; PVDF-TrFE; I-SWARM; Multilayer actuator; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis a multilayer actuator structure is developed for the I-SWARM project. In order to build an energy efficient and low voltage actuator system for the 3x3x3 mm3 robot, the resonance drive mode in combination with a ten layer multilayer structure build upon the most suitable substrate material was used.
