Abstract

The ability to manipulate and control biological cells with reflective-force information is a key technology necessary for many new applications in Bio-MEMS, but is currently lacking in all cellular manipulators. We report in this paper our preliminary experimental work in using an Ionic Conducting Polymer Film (ICPF) to develop a biological cellular robotic gripper with force sensing capability. ICPF actuators are able to give large deflection with small input voltage (∼5V) in aqueous environments, and also able to give relatively large output voltage due to deflection by mechanical forces. Thus, ICPF actuators are investigated as possible cellular force-reflection controlled manipulators in our work. Individual multi-finger grippers with dimensions of 200μm × 200μm × 3000μm for each finger were realized. We will report on the design, fabrication procedures, and operating performance of our ICPF actuators in this paper. Further development in the reduction of size of these actuators will enable effective force-feedback control of underwater micro objects and lead to new frontiers in cellular manipulation. © 2001 IEEE
