Simulation of laminar bimorph piezoelectric microactuators with application in miniaturized robots

In order to implement miniaturized robots different possibilities for electromechanical actuation at the microscale must be evaluated according to their function on the robot, as well as, size, mechanical strength and deformation, resolution, power supply, energy and degrees of freedom required. The...
