Small Autonomous Robot Actuator (SARA): A Solar-Powered Wireless MEMS Gripper
ICRA 2021poster
Solar-powered actuation of a 15 mN electrostatic MEMS gripper was demonstrated while wirelessly triggered by IEEE 802.15.4 RF signals. The solar-powered gripper was shown to actuate at a rate of 640 um/s. The complete system is composed of three capacitors and three chips: MEMS gripper, microprocess…
