Z-Shaped Electrothermal Microgripper Based on Novel Asymmetric Actuator

Based on a V-shaped microactuator with a pair of beams, modifications were made to the length and width of a microactuator to observe the effects. A theoretical approach and numerical characterization of the modified microactuator were performed. Its performance was compared to a similar microactuat...
