Microgripper Using Soft Microactuators for Manipulation of Living Cells

Microgripper Using Soft Microactuators for Manipulation of Living Cells

We present a microgripper actuated by a soft microactuator for manipulating a single living cell. Soft actuators have attracted attention in recent years because their compliance which can adapt to soft targets. In this study, we propose a microgripper actuated by soft thermoresponsive hydrogels. Th...
