Abstract | This paper describes the design of an active microgripper interface used in the assembly of three-dimensional MEMS (micro electromechanical systems) microstructures. The interface connects a robotic manipulator to a 3-pad active microgripper. Electric current is transmitted to the interface by bonding its pads to the robotic manipulator using standard tungsten probes. The interface is integrated with a hinged microstructure that is rotated by a 170deg angle causing the hinge plane to get in contact with the interface small pads. The interface, bonded to the robotic manipulator, is used to grasp the smaller active microgrippers. An interlocking mechanism is introduced to the interface to lock the microgripper and prevent it from sliding. The inverted hinged structure operates as a bridge that connects the microgripper pads to the robotic manipulator probes enabling the transmission of current. This allows the active microgripper to act as both an actuator and as a feedback sensor. The interface highly improves the interchangeability properties of the microgrippers, where replacing damaged microgrippers is easily performed and the setup time and effort would be significantly reduced. This paper is a part of an ongoing work which involves the automation of the assembly of MEMS, used to construct out-of-plane 3D microstructures |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
