Bidirectional Linear Motion by Travelling Waves on Legged Piezoelectric Microfabricated Plates

This paper reports the design, fabrication and performance of MEMS-based piezoelectric bidirectional conveyors featuring 3D printed legs, driven by linear travelling waves (TW). The structures consisted of an aluminium–nitride (AlN) piezoelectric film on top of millimetre-sized rectangular thin sili...
