Creating microscale actuated mechanisms in 3D space is extremely challenging due to limitations in microfabrication processes. In this work, we present a 3D-printed adaptive microgripper that is driven by thin-film NiTi microactuators with 3D-printed linkage mechanisms. The microgripper's fingers are passively adaptive so that the microgripper can provide conformal gripping on 3D objects. The micr...
