This paper aims at designing a kind of advanced micro-force sensor that can measure force in the range of sub- micro-Newton (muN). To accurately measure the micro interactive force (for example,… (More)
The path planning for traditional polishing robot is teach-play-back method. That is, after adjusting offset errors, the polishing robot repeats the same fixed program in a pre-determined path.… (More)

Nanomanipulation and nanoimaging with Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) is a popular technique for nano-manufacturing. However, under ambient conditions without stringent environment control,… (More)
Rapid progress in graphene-based applications is calling for an inexpensive technique for creating mass graphene components with specialized shapes, sizes, and edge structures. In this paper, an… (More)
Mechanical properties play an important role in regulating cellular activities and are critical for unlocking the mysteries of life. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) enables researchers to measure… (More)
One of the major limitations for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)-based nanomanipulation is that AFM only has one sharp tip as the end-effector, and can only apply a point force to the nanoobject, which… (More)
Docking is an essential function for reconfigurable planetary robot system (RPRS), it supports almost all metamorphic characteristics of the system. This paper presents a space docking method for… (More)
In the last seven years, optoelectronic tweezers using optically-induced dielectrophoretic (ODEP) force have been explored experimentally with much success in manipulating micro/nano objects.… (More)
We report in this paper a novel, inexpensive and flexible method for fabricating micrometerand nanometer-scale three-dimensional (3D) polymer structures using visible light sources instead of… (More)
