Advances in medicine have increased the demand for highly accurate micro-robotic devices and surgical systems. These tools enhance the abilities of the operator and permit procedures that might not be possible otherwise. The success and functionality of these tools depend on the accuracy and physical size of the embedded sensors and actuators. New materials must be examined and incorporated into designs which can minimize their size while providing more flexibility. In this research, piezoceramics will be examined as a mechanism for both highly precise actuators and sensors. Piezoceramics have high power density and high accuracy which makes them ideal for miniaturization.

医学的进步增加了对高精度微型机器人设备和手术系统的需求。这些工具增强了操作员的能力，并允许进行其他方式可能无法实现的操作。这些工具的成功和功能取决于嵌入式传感器和执行器的精度和物理尺寸。必须检查新材料，并将其纳入设计，使其尺寸最小化，同时提供更大的灵活性。在这项研究中，将研究压电陶瓷作为高精度执行器和传感器的一种机制。压电陶瓷具有高功率密度和高精度，这使它们成为小型化的理想选择。
