In a hybrid SEM-AFM system, a compact AFM is installed inside the high vacuum chamber of an SEM, where SEM provides largely 2D imaging and material compositions of a sample while AFM is capable of complementarily measuring 3D topography of the sample. Although SEM can achieve real-time imaging (e.g., 20 Hz), AFM scan can take minutes to generate an image, demanding strategies for speeding up AFM measurement. In existing hybrid SEM-AFM systems, SEM and AFM measurements are made independently. This paper presents, for the first time, a technique of using SEM nanoscopic imaging to guide the scan speed of AFM imaging. The dynamic variation of AFM scan speed is based on features identified in SEM imaging. Information/features are extracted from real-time SEM images and quantitated using local entropy and other metrics. The generated feature metric map is used to produce a speed map for varying AFM scan speed at each position on the sample. Experiments were conducted with a new SEM-compatible AFM instrument we recently developed, as the test bed of the SEM-guided AFM scan technique. The results for the samples measured in this work demonstrate that time savings of this technique, compared to traditional AFM scan using a constant speed, were up to 66% with equivalent imaging accuracy obtained with traditional fine scan. With the same time cost of traditional fast scan, the SEM -guided AFM scan technique had an accuracy improvement of 47%.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132671269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These types of manipulation systems can handle the relatively larger scale of objects. However, the complexity of manipulation increases highly for 3D manipulation. Since the manipulation system consists of multiple components including manipulator, microscope, and also some end-effector tools, a proper offline visualization of the system is necessary for operation. Therefore, we propose a web-based virtual interface between the user and the actual manipulator operated under digital microscope initially. It gives the operator 3D positional feedback from the virtual model by mapping data read during remote operation. The same interface is used for remote operation of the manipulator within the SEM chamber and a manipulation task is performed.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126860139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of this is done by software, the proposed method undersamples the device under test and calculates the missing pixels afterwards with different inpainting methods. This is achieved through a custom made electronics board which can generate arbitrary trajectories and a robotic software framework, which provides the algorithms for controlling and reconstructing the measured data.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126889242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To study the transport properties of the charge density wave (CDW), from the array of NbS3filaments, structurally perfect crystals of tens of nanometers in width were chosen and transferred to a substrate with electrical conductors without introducing additional structural defects. On the fixed crystals of different length and width, the voltage-current (IV) curves were measured with an external high-frequency electromagnetic field. The manifestation of the Shapiro steps on IV curves is indicative of the high quality of the samples made with the help of the proposed nanotweezers with shape memory effect (SME).","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123177968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a biofriendly soft actuator was newly designed based on core-shell-structured bacterial cellulose membrane, which was fabricated by homogeneously depositing polypyrrole nanoparticles on the surface of TEMPO-Oxidized bacterial cellulose (TOBC) nanofibers via a chemical polymerization method. The proposed soft actuator under both harmonic and step electrical inputs showed relatively large bending mechanical deformation, fast response time, and good long-term durability in air condition, which was due to the enhanced electrochemical properties of TOBC-Polypyrrole membrane, resulting from its highly porous structure and high conductivity. Therefore, the designed TOBC-Polypyrrole actuator can be a strong candidate for bioinspired actuating devices such as, soft and wearable electronics, and active biomedical devices.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132279383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
