A Disposable Pneumatic Microgripper for Cell Manipulation with Image-Based Force Sensing

A new design for a single-use disposable pneumatic microgripper is presented in this paper. It enables very cost-effective batch microfabrication in SU-8 with a single lithography mask by shifting manufacturing complexity into reusable components. An optically readable force sensor with potential to...
