Nanomanipulation inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been employed to
maneuver and characterize nanomaterials. Despite recent efforts toward automated …

This paper is concerned with grasping biological cells in aqueous medium with miniature
grippers that can also help estimate forces using vision-based displacement measurement …

Orientation control of biological cells under inverted microscopes is important for cell
birefringent imaging and micromanipulation. Taking our microrobotic mouse embryo …

A flexible robotic system (FRS) developed for multiscale manipulation and assembly from
nanoscale to microscale is presented. This system is based on the principle of atomic force …

The tools of nanodiagnostics, nanotherapy, and nanorobotics are expected to revolutionize
the future of medicine, leading to presymptomatic diagnosis of disease, highly effective …

The development of manufacturing tools and processes capable of precisely positioning and
manipulating nanoscale components and materials is still in its embryonic stage …

This paper presents the design, optimization and manufacturing of a novel micro-fabricated
load cell based on a double-ended tuning fork. The device geometry and operating voltages …

This paper introduces a microrobotic platform to manipulate and characterize individual
paper fibers. Mechanical characterization of individual paper fibers determines the key …

Due to scale effects, the releasing of micro objects has been a long-standing challenge in
micromanipulation applications. In this paper a micromanipulation system is presented …

This paper presents a new batch process to fabricate thermally driven silicon micro grippers
for handling and manipulation objects smaller than 25 μm. To achieve a robust gripper …
