In recent years, microgrippers have been extensively researched due to their high demand in various fields, including advanced micro-assembly, micromanipulation, micro-robotics, minimally invasive, and living cell surgery The development of microgrippers has been facilitated by utilizing integrated circuits (IC) or IC-compatible technologies, such as electrostatics, piezoelectricity, and electro-thermal actuation.
The electroluminescent principle relies on the distance change between a fixed electrode and a suspended one when voltage is applied The first successful electroluminescent microgripper, utilizing bulk and surface silicon micro-manufacturing techniques, was introduced in 1992.
The 1500 µm long polysilicon microgripper is fabricated from a supporting silicon substrate The microgripper jaw displacement occurs at an applied voltage of 45 V, with a basic frequency of 5 kHz A monolithic electrostatic microgripper has been recently presented A lateral comb drive has been chosen to actuate this gripper This microgripper can manipulate glass or polymer spheres.

The 1992 thermal actuator has garnered significant interest due to its ability to produce a large displacement, force, and utilize incomparable fabrication processes The flexible thermal actuator consists of a thin arm with higher electrical resistance than its thicker counterpart The thin arm (hot arm) heats more than the thick one, consequently elongating more than the thick arm and in-plane bending occurs A configuration that is more efficient in terms of power consumption employs two hot arm thermal actuators The electrical current passes through both hot arms, improving power efficiency compared to a single hot arm structure This principle is also demonstrated in the Zyvex gripper However, the limitations of these devices include extremely high operating temperatures and high power consumption.

Manipulating micro-objects with traditional microgrippers without a built-in force sensor generally requires a camera inserted into the system to obtain visual feedback This approach results in a two-dimensional image The depth perception of the manipulated tool and the object being manipulated is lost, making it difficult to identify the position of the tool Moreover, only displacement, and not force, can be detected A microgripper with a built-in force sensor can address this limitation and is therefore suitable for holding objects firmly while avoiding any squeezing of delicate objects.

The bending of the cantilever is related to the applied force By monitoring the deflection of the beam, the amplitude of the applied force can be detected Several force-sensing methods, such as capacitive, piezoelectric, optical laser detection, and piezoresistive techniques, can be utilized.
The capacitive method relies on the change in capacitance that occurs when the structure is deformed, making it widely utilized in micro-actuators and harsh environmental sensors An example of a capacitive force sensor is illustrated in Figure 1.8 This sensor operates with two degrees of freedom (2-DOF) and employs silicon on insulator technology.

A two-dimensional piezoelectric force sensor is presented in [28] (see Fig 1.9) It consists of two perpendicular pieces of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) material This structure is symmetric in the vertical and lateral dimensions, with resolution and sensitivity in the ± range However, the PVDF cantilever is patterned optimally The two pieces are glued perpendicularly to each other, resulting in a relatively large sensor structure With this approach, the sensor cantilever can be miniaturized, and the fabrication process is not I-E-compatible The piezoelectric method also requires complicated electronic circuits for processing the signal Cantilevers based on optical force measurement are often used in atomic force applications.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and high-resolution measurement techniques utilize the principle of amplifying the deflection of a cantilever by reflecting a laser beam off its tip This deflection is monitored using a split photodiode detector, making the method highly effective for precise measurements.
Master's theses require high levels of optimal alignment and adjustment for measuring small displacements The sensitive surface must be reflective and larger than the laser beam spot Creating a lateral and multidimensional force sensor using an optimal method is challenging Additionally, the required lasers are relatively large, making it impossible to miniaturize the entire force-sensing system down to the micrometer size range Piezoelectric transducers convert a force into a change in the value of a resistor and are widely used as sensing elements in pressure sensors and accelerometers.
AFM cantilevers have achieved significant advancements in piezoresistive technology, leading to the development of cantilevers with a resolution of pN and even fN Most previously developed high-sensitivity force sensors utilize SOI wafers and vertical structures.

The outer beam and the two connected inner beams have a current in the outer beam that is twice that of the inner one Consequently, the outer beam functions as the hot arm of an electothermally actuated display The displacement of the actuator is determined by monitoring the resistance change of the two inner beams The microgripper displacement is attributed to the thermal expansion of silicon, a material with a low thermal expansion coefficient.
