Thus, this presentation focuses on using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) as a promising sensory robotic tool for challenging micro/nanomanipulation applications. AFM probe is proposed to be utilized as a mechanically contact pushing manipulator, and force and topology sensor. The focused task is the 2-D pushing of micro/nanometer size particles on a substrate in ambient conditions. Thus, the modeling of interaction forces and dynamics during pushing operation is analyzed for understanding the nano scale physical phenomenon which is different from macro robotics physics. Experiments of 2-D precise positioning of micro/nano gold-coated particles are reported. The results show that latex particles can be positioned on silicon substrates successfully, and AFM probe can be a promising sensory manipulator.","PeriodicalId":423453,"journal":{"name":"MHS'99.

Many methods, such as liquid phase epitaxial growth, chemical vapor deposition, molecular beam epitaxial growth, sputtering, laser ablation and chemical solution deposition, have been developed to fabricate thin films with desired properties. Among these methods, the chemical solution deposition method has the advantages of good homogeneity, ease of compositional control, low temperature processing, and large area and versatile shaping with integrated functionalities over vacuum deposition techniques. This paper reviews a part of the authors' results on the chemical processing of some epitaxial ferroelectric, pyroelectric, and piezoelectric films as well as nonlinear optic films. In addition, the processing and properties of nano-sized functional ceramic particles/organic hybrids is presented as an example of novel and promising materials, which are expected to create a emerging area.","PeriodicalId":423453,"journal":{"name":"MHS'99.

Biomimetic fish-like propulsion using ICPF actuator as a propulsion tail fin for microrobot swimming structure in water or aqueous medium is developed. The overall size of the underwater microrobot prototype shaped as a boat is 40 mm in length, 10 mm in width and 2 mm in thickness. There is a pair of fins. Characteristic of the underwater microrobot is measured by changing the frequency of input voltage from 0.1 Hz to 5 Hz. The experimental results indicate that the swimming speed of proposed underwater microrobot can be controlled by changing the frequency of input voltage.","PeriodicalId":423453,"journal":{"name":"MHS'99.
