Frequency-controlled wireless shape-memory-alloy microactuators integrated using an electroplating bonding process

This paper reports the wireless control of bulk-micromachined shape-memory-alloy actuators using external radiofrequency magnetic fields and its application to microgrippers. The frequency-sensitive wireless resonant heater to which the gripper actuator is bonded is activated only when the field fre...
