- *Abstract
-
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed an apparatus for manipulating micro-scale objects. At the micro-scale level, adhesion forces of surface tension, and electrostatic and Van der Waals force dominate gravitational forces. Recent work has shown how adhesive forces can be used advantageously during microassembly tasks by controlling contact areas and surface tension, to ensure that microparts are reliably transferred to the target surface and released from a gripper.

Title: Apparatus and method for manipulation of an object
Usefulness: Apparatus and method for manipulation of an object
Summary: Used for manipulating an object e.g. manipulator tip, micro-sized object e.g. sub-millimeter sized part, and larger object e.g. sub-centimeter sized part.
Novelty: Object e.g. manipulator tip, manipulating apparatus, has actuated compliant beams mounted perpendicular to each other, and moved into contact with opposing surfaces of object to grip and manipulate object
