DOI: 10.1007/s00542-019-04728-1
Abstract: We present the first report on automated micro-manipulation of zebrafish embryos using an electrothermally-actuated microgripper. A five-bar linkage compliant microgripper, driven by a V-shaped electrothermal micro-actuator, is designed based on topological optimization. The electrothermally-actuated microgripper… read more here.
