A gripper and a driving method using the same are disclosed, wherein an actuator has a configuration combined with a piezoelectric operating unit and a bending structure, whereby an amount of variation of a gap between fingers are amplified more than that of the piezoelectric operating unit by generating a movement of the fingers perpendicular to a movement direction of the piezoelectric operating unit, and wherein the gripper having arms including a strain gauge sensor can precisely measure a force applied to a micro object.

Gripper and driving method using the same

The present invention provides an apparatus for solution component analysis and fabricating method thereof, by which a mixing channel, reaction channel, and measurement channel are formed as continuous micro-grooves on one substrate to implement the miniature apparatus for analyzing solution components, by which the apparatus is provided with portability facilitating access to a spot outside a laboratory to perform an instant sample analysis, and by which an optical system configuration for sample analysis can be simplified in a manner of facilitating an optical transfer by forming a transparent silicon oxide (SiO) layer between a micro channel of the apparatus and an optical fiber to insert the optical fiber therein.
