Micro Motion Amplifiers for Compact Out-of-Plane Actuation

Small-scale, out-of-plane actuators can enable tactile interfaces; however, achieving sufficient actuator force and displacement can require larger actuators. In this work, 2-mm<sup>2</sup> out-of-plane microactuators were created, and were demonstrated to output up to 6.3 µm of displace...
