MICRO-GRIP WITH FORCE SENSING Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: micro-robotics, possibly actuating devices of robots used for assembling electromechanical systems.

SUBSTANCE: micro-grip includes two-way reciprocation motion drive unit, base of grip, upper and lower clamping fingers. The last are elastic ones in the form of monocrystalline plates, each plate is provided with piezoresistive sensing member and piezoresistor. Two-way reciprocation motion drive unit may be thermomechanic, magnetostrictive, electrostatic, electromagnetic or piezoelectric.

EFFECT: lowered possibility of random deformation of micro-object structure.
