Preface
The Workshop on Microactuators and Micromechanisms (MAMM 2010) is the first event of collaboration between the Technical Committee on Linkages and Mechanical Controls and the Technical Committee on Micromachines of the International Federation for the Promotion of Mechanism and Machine Science (IFToMM) that was held in 2010 at RWTH Aachen University, organized by the Department of Mechanism Theory and Dynamics of Machines. The scope of the workshop was to bring together scientists, industry experts and students. It was aimed at providing a special opportunity for exchange of knowhow and international collaboration in various disciplines related to microactuators and micromechanism technology. A follow-up workshop, MAMM 2012, will be held in January 2012 in Durgapur, India, to continue the successful interactions that were initiated in 2010. In addition to focusing on general topics of interest to microactuators and micromechanisms, MAMM 2012 will have a special session on microsurgery, possibly with a direct involvement of surgeons who will share their needs and research interests. The book is published in the Springer series “Machine and Mechanism Science” and contains peer-reviewed papers of the aforementioned workshop. The most recent research results in microactuators and micromechanism technology are presented in this book. The topics covered range from a piezoactuator-driven microrobot to an in-pipe micro mobile robot using peristaltic motion and from cellgrasping compliant mechanisms to a kinematics study of protein chains and the simulation of their motion. The editors like to express grateful thanks to IFToMM, the German National IFToMM Commi
