Miniature Robot Finger Using a Micro Linear Ultrasonic Motor and a Closed-Loop Linkage

To prioritize miniaturization, the actuators of micro robot hands are placed far from the end effectors, but such mechanisms restrict controllability and dexterity. We propose a miniature robot finger driven by a new micro linear ultrasonic motor as a key component for micro robot hands. It enables…
