Nanorobotics have been successfully applied to investigate the physical and biomedical properties in the nano scale. As the center piece of nanorobotcis Scanning probe microscope (SPM) has been widely used to measure the topography information of sample surface as well as serving as a manipulation and sensing tool to modify and measure the mechanical and physical properties of sample. However, the...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) based nanomanipulations have been successfully applied to various fields such as physics, material science and biomedical studies. In general, the precision of AFM based nanomanipulation has been compromised mainly by hysteresis and creep of the piezo actuator. In this paper, a new approach, named scan range adaptive hysteresis/creep hybrid (SAH) compensator, is proposed...
IPMC (ionic polymer metal composites), also known as artificial muscles, is one kind smart material of electric actuators, it can generates a large deformation under a relatively low input voltage (generally less than 5V). Thin IPMC strips (the thickness is usually less than 0.3mm) possess a strong hysteresis and creep characteristics which will change with the different level of water content and...
