  2. 1. Actuators for autonomous microrobots

    Author : Niklas Snis; Stefan Johansson; Urban Simu; Alvo Aabloo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; Locomotion; Microrobot; PZT; P VDF-TrFE ; Autonomous; Multilayer; Actuator; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents actuators used in autonomous microsystems. Characteristic for all actuators presented is the low drive voltage and the low power consumption. Different motion mechanisms have been studied and applied in various locomotion modules for microrobots. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microsystems based on polypyrrole microactuators : microrobots and cell clinics

    Author : Edwin W. H. Jager; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Conducting polymers like polypyrrole (PPy) are suitable materials for actuators. PPy undergoes a volume change, driven by redox processes accompanied by ion movement. This volume change is reversible. By combining PPy with a support and/or electrode layer into a bilayer, actuators can be made. READ MORE
