A cluster of small cooperative robots capable of executing measurement and manipulation tasks is being developed within the scope of a European project. The robots are autonomous and have an overall… (More)
Laser induced convection flows is a new and promising method to achieve better manipulation of mesoscale objects (above 1 mum and below 500 mum) in a liquid medium. The temperature gradient created… (More)
This paper presents a micro manipulation platform based on several cm<sup>3</sup>-sized mobile micro robots. The proposed platform consists of a high resolution XY stage with the mobile micro robots… (More)
Haptic feedback for microand nanomanipulation is a research area of growing importance with many potential applications in microand biotechnology. Past research often involves the coupling of atomic… (More)
Optical tweezers are a powerful tool for micromanipulation and measurement of picoNewton sized forces. However, conventional interfaces present difficulties as the user cannot feel the forces… (More)
