Micromanipulators

Prototype by Julien Lacheray

Gripping operation (1.5 MByte video)
Coils and magnets (856 kByte video)

In the absence of piezo-actuators (the order was delayed), an alternative actuation method was used for the prototype gripper. An extensive literature survey was done.

Picking up ground coffee (6.1MByte video)

Thanks to John Stanley (rapid prototyping) and Ralph Gay (micro-parts) for helping.
