This force is then considered as a disturbance force and rejected in the control scheme thanks to a feedforward strategy.

The characterization of the morphology, optical properties and crystallography of Au NRs, Au NEs and Au@Ag core-shell NEs have been studied. Then we analyze the overall growth mechanism of the nanoparticles during the synthesis process. Moreover, by adjusting the amount of AgNO3adding in the epitaxial processes, different size Au@Ag core-shell NEs can also be obtained. Additionally, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancing properties of Au@Ag core-shell NEs have also been evaluated with 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) labelled molecule as Raman detector. Interesting, such core-shell NCs also exhibit efficient SERS intensity. The results obtained here suggest that Au@Ag core-shell NEs might serve as nanoprobe for SERS-based analytical and biosensing applications.","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":"125797345","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}

This trend involves new issues related to the manufacturing and automated assembly of these products. Even in constantly developing non-industrial sectors such as biomedicine, the need for automated equipment for preparing and manipulating biological samples represents a current challenge. In particular, the sorting and feeding systems cover an essential role since they can affect the task strategy, the operation scheduling, and the overall system performance. Moreover, they should cope with the adhesion issues related to micro-scale manipulation, as all the devices that handle sub-millimetric components. In this context, this paper presents two methods and the related tools for the automated sorting and manipulation of micro-spheres: the former exploits a micro-gripping tool and implements a pick-and-place (P&P) approach, while the latter is based on newly conceived devices implementing a “store-and-place” (S&P) strategy. The two methods were studied considering two application examples. They were firstly exploited to perform the automated rebailing of a BGA (Ball Grid Array) package to be mounted on a Printed Circuit Board; the implemented tasks will be described and discussed to underline their characteristics and applicability. Furthermore, a second application of the methods to the sorting and placement of fertilized Zebrafish eggs is envisaged.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"18 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":"129829007","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}

It achieves high-speed, low-voltage operation through tilted orientation of cantilever-like legs. Tethered locomotion is achieved at 36 mm/s (> 1 body length per second) at as little as 10 V or at speeds as large 400 mmls at 80 V.

This paper presents a novel damping flexure-guided mechanism with the comb-like substructures, which play a role of damping enhancement. This kind of design maintains the merits of a conventional compliant mechanism, such as fabrication methods, meanwhile, shearing damping is realized by a comb-like constrained-layer damping structure. A multi-objective optimization based on maximum control bandwidth and response smoothness is built up and implemented based on an Abaqus-Phython-Matlab cosimulation tool chain. Based on the optimal solution, a scanning transient analysis and comparison are implemented. The results indicate that the optimized flexure-guided mechanism has large modal damping and smoother frequency response than the non-optimized damping and non-damping mechanism.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"201 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":"124400467","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}

This paper reports an automated robotic system capable of force-controlled mechanical stimulation and locomotion behavior analysis of freely moving Drosophila larvae, which improves the force regulation accuracy and larva operation consistency over conventional manual manipulation. A 3D-printed, three-axis force sensor was developed and integrated into the robotic system to measure the contact force between the tip of an end-effector and the larva head, and an adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller was proposed for closed-loop control of the contact force. The three-axis force sensor was also employed to monitor lateral disturbances to the contact force caused by small larva head movements, and thus to validate the effectiveness of larva stimulation. The robotic system performed automated larva stimulation and locomotion analysis at a speed of four larvae per minute, and was applied to quantify the correlation between the applied contact force direction/magnitude and the larva reorientation behavior. With its high accuracy and efficiency, this system will greatly facilitate large-scale studies of mechanosensory behaviors in Drosophila larva.","PeriodicalId":118389,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Conference on Manipulation, Automation and Robotics at Small Scales (MARSS)","volume":"15 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":"116233507","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}
