摘要
Driving principles, configurations and applications of micromachined actuators are reviewed. Examples, taken from our research activities, include an optical matrix switch composed of arrayed torsional micromirrors which are driven by electrostatic force; a microactuator using thin film shape memory alloy (TiNi); a microactuator for scanning a microwave antenna and a self-assembly of three-dimensional microstructures by scratch drive microactuators. A system architecture, an autonomous distributed micro system, is proposed to make best use of micromechatronic technology. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
