Visual tracking and estimation of the 3D posture of a micro/nano-object is a key issue in the development of automated manipulation tasks using the visual feedback. The 3D posture of the micro-object is estimated based on a template matching algorithm. Nevertheless, a key challenge for visual tracking in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the difficulty to observe the motion along the depth direction...
Nanomanipulation is an important tool for recent developments in nanoscale production, characterization and analysis, both in material and life sciences. Its use is actually limited because of its complexity. Especially inside a scanning electron microscope, kinematic constraints, open-loop actuators and lack of natural visual access are barriers for its widespread use and require an operator specialized...
This paper reports the remote handling of microscale objects, between two sites approximately 630 km distant. To manipulate objects less than 10 µm, specific equipments such as AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) cantilevers integrated into a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) are generally required. Enabling remote access to such a system would benefit any micro/nanoresearcher. However, vision feedback...
