Herein, an introduction to optimization, aiming to help knowledge development in design optimization techniques is given. Besides, a new method of using the theory of topology optimization to optimize a microgripper system, with a piezoelectric ceramic driver (PZT) microactuator is presented as well. An optimization method is also presented to generate better control conditions. In this study a micro object gripper of 9200 µm length, 8100 µm width, and 500 µm thickness is optimized, and performances improvement is analyzed. This thesis is to investigate best practice and give advice on how to understand the process of topology optimization and how to setup an optimization run. At first, an... 

The project aims to design and build a device that is capable of manipulation and control of micro-scale objects in dry and fluid medium. Among all the micro-manipulation methods, the use of magnetic fields has many applications. Because it has the ability to work without direct contact and also within a specified range for living tissue, is safe. To achieve this goal,manipulation systems ever made, were studied. Then, by presenting a conceptual design and the use of appropriate dynamic models for describing the behavior of micro-robot, the system performance was simulated. After this stage, The detailed design of the closed-loop system which must controls the position of the micro-robot...
