Abstract

Dexterity and softness of micromanipulators are important issues in assembly of fragile complex microstructures. This paper presents micromanipulator devices with 3 and 6 degrees of freedom intended for soft dextrous motion. The 3-DOF device moved 2 mm at the maximum with a response of 13 Hz. Experiments of microscopic teleoperation proved that the device was suitable for dynamic micromotion. The 6-DOF device could control 3 translation and 3 rotation independently. The practical frequency range was up to 3 Hz, the maximum displacement was 0.4 mm, and the maximum rotation angle was 2 deg.
