Abstract

In the recent years, MEMS technology, because of its micro-size, has matured as a field of research. Micro-gripper is one of the applications of MEMS technology. This paper describes the design, simulation and analysis of micro-gripper based on electrothermal actuator. An electrothermally actuated micro-gripper has been designed, optimized and simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics simulation tool. The simulation of the gripper design is done by using copper as a structural material. Different parametric studies have been carried out such as displacement, stress and deformation by varying the driving voltage and temperature.
