Patent attributes
Some embodiments include an actuator assembly for mounting a moving component. In some embodiments, the actuator assembly includes a base substrate including a first portion for mounting comb drive actuators and a second portion for mounting the moving component. In some embodiments, the actuator assembly includes a plurality of comb drive actuators rigidly affixed to the first portion of the base substrate. In some embodiments, the plurality of comb drive actuators is flexibly affixed to the second portion of the base substrate by a plurality of respective mechanical flexures. In some embodiments, the respective mechanical flexures provide a flexible mechanical connection between the second portion and the first portion, and the plurality of comb drive actuators is arranged to control the motion of the second portion to adjust the position of the moving component in multiple degrees of freedom relative to first portion.
