Abstract :
Micro manipulation system for microscopic applications using PZT actuator and microgripper is developed. This system is designed for handling a bio cell under optical microscope and consists of an actuator using PZT, a microgripper, and a man-machine interface. With these essential parts implemented prototype micro manipulation system, a practical manipulation experiments including grasping and moving a specific bio cell is conducted to evaluate the system performance and effectiveness.
