A Semi-Empirical Fluid Dynamic Model of a Vacuum Microgripper Based on CFD Analysis

Vacuum microgrippers are devices used to handle and manipulate small objects. Despite their simple working principle and low cost, they show low efficiency in detaching performance, especially when the object to be grasped is very small. In this work, a particular design for vacuum microgrippers wit...
