Design and fabrication of a novel XY theta z monolithic micro-positioning stage driven by NiTi shape-memory-alloy actuators
This paper reports a new shape-memory-alloy (SMA) micro-positioning stage. The device has been monolithically micro-machined with a single fabrication step. The design comprises a moving stage that is manipulated by six SMA planar springs actuators to generate movements with three degrees of freedom...
