Nanonewton force-controlled manipulation of biological cells using a monolithic MEMS microgripper with two-axis force feedback (2008, methodology): “In order to achieve a high sensitivity and linear input– output relationship, transverse tri-plate differential comb drives shown in figure 2(b) are used [22].”
A Six-Axis MEMS Force–Torque Sensor With Micro-Newton and Nano-Newtonmeter Resolution (2009, methodology): “presented in this paper, a combination of the processes in [16] and [17] is required, since deflections in all directions must be measured by a transverse capacitor configuration.”
Robotics in the Small, Part I: Microbotics (2007, methodology): “A MEMS force sensor (the same shown in Figure 3) is used to measure the lift force generated by the wings during flight [21] while high-speed computer-vision techniques are used to capture the wing kinematics.”
A novel multi-axis force sensor for microrobotics applications (2009, unknown): “Sun et al developed a microforce sensor with a comb drive configuration to characterize a flight of a fruit fly [11].”
Monolithically Fabricated Microgripper With Integrated Force Sensor for Manipulating Microobjects and Biological Cells Aligned in an Ultrasonic Field (2007, methodology): “tion process is based on a process that was originally developed for multi-degree-of-freedom capacitive force sensors [9], [10].”
Silicon Nanotweezers With Subnanometer Resolution for the Micromanipulation of Biomolecules (2008, methodology): “For a comprehensive description of the differential capacitor, we refer to the work of Sun et al. [ 30 ], [31] after which we have modeled our prototype.”
