Abstract

This paper reports a novel miniaturized electro-magnetic grasper with a very large rotational angle range. The grasper is driven by a solenoid and a flexural magnetic film, which allows the grasper structure to capture the object bigger than the structure itself. Compared to state of the art, a spring structure is dispensed on a silicon wafer by a dispenser, which decreases the fabrication process complexity. The displacement of each grasper arm is observed to be 22.5 degree for the applied current of 3.2 A. The fabricated micro grasper can grasp a long carbon rod with a length of 2.5 cm.
