Although robotic micromanipulation using microtweezers has been widely explored, the
current manipulation throughput hardly exceeds one operation per second. Increasing the …

This paper presents a stiffness-based kinematic model for analysis and control of a Micro-
Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) flexure-based hexapod nanopositioner that was …

Conventional miniaturized motion stages have a volume of 50–60 cm 3 and a range of
motion around 100 μm. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based motion stages …

Parallel Continuum Robots (PCR) have received a lot of attention in recent years. This paper
presents a new 6-degrees-of-freedom PCR derived from the conventional 3-PPSR parallel …

A new design of three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) translational motion stage (XYZ stage) is
presented in this paper. This XYZ stage is based on MEMS and designed by combining …

Methods and systems for building three-dimensional workpieces are described using a
plurality of mechanosynthetic reactions. These methods may employ engineered reliability …

This paper presents an analytical model for calculating the workspace of a flexure-based
hexapod nanopositioner previously built by the National Institute of Standards and …

Methods for creating build sequences which are determined using computational chemistry
algorithms to simulate mechanosynthetic reactions, and which may use the mecha …

The present invention is directed to methods for the synthesis of products via
mechanosynthesis, including bootstrap means to go from atomically-imprecise to atomically …

This paper presents a novel 2-DOF XY table with high-precision positioning to improve the
efficiency and precision of micro-electro-mechanical system packaging. The XY table, which …
