From Micro- to Nanoparticle Manipulation. Journal of Nanoparticle Research, Vol. 2, Issue 4, Dec 2000, p. 393-399. Abstract
The precise manipulation of small particles is not a trivial task. In a first effort, a nanorobot system was built based on a robot with vision feedback and a micromachined gripper. It was suitable for handling particles down to 100 microns with submicron accuracy in a normal environment. For smaller particles stiction effects prohibit the release of the particles in a controlled way. Stiction effects are avoided in a fluid environment, As an example, a system of channels is described in detail that is able to feed micron sized particles in a fluid environment to the desired places. | |||||||||||||
