Micro manipulation by adhesion with two collaborating mobile micro robots

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

A micro manipulation platform consisting of two cubic centimeter sized micro robots each with four degrees of freedom has been developed. This paper discusses four different strategies of manipulation by adhesion for grasping, transferring and releasing a ...

“Pocket Factory”: Concept of miniaturized modular cleanrooms

Reymond Clavel, Irène Verettas

The manipulation and assembly of microsystems (MEMS) require accurate robots operating in a clean room environment. Available systems are bulky, thus requiring large ground surface for small components. Furthermore they have limited accuracy. The main obje ...

The embodiment of cockroach behaviour in a micro-robot

Masoud Asadpour, Simon Garnier

Autonomous robots may some day be able to behave like an animal, be accepted by the animal as a conspecific and influence the individual as well as the collective behaviour of the animal and its conspecifics. With this objective in mind we report here the ...

Mobile cm3-microrobots with tools for nanoscale imaging and micromanipulation

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

This paper presents a microrobot concept for microhandling and micromanipulation, which has been developed within the framework of the EU founded project MiCRoN. The concept is explained along with some examples of realized modules for the robots and a num ...

Position Feedback for Microrobots based on Scanning Probe Microscopy

Hannes Bleuler, Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen, Ashwin Lal

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 dimension in the order of 1 cm/sup 3/. In this paper we p ...

Towards a new Delta robot: an inverted Delta

In the way of developing fast parallel robots, the following work proposes a development of a new delta robot. This robot is a 3 d.o.f. parallel robot based on a Delta-like kinematics [Clavel 88, 92]. It is actually an inverted Delta in which the parallel ...

Micro manipulation by adhesion with two collaborating mobile micro robots

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

A micro manipulation platform consisting of several cm3-sized 4 DOF micro robots has been developed by EPFL. This paper discusses four different strategies for grasping, transferring and releasing a micro object by manipulation by adhesion. The strategies ...

Design and Control of the Mobile Micro Robot Alice

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper describes the design methodology to build an autonomous mobile robot of just few cubic centimeters (2 x 2 x 2 cm). Starting from the expected features, the design path will be shown, going through solution proposition, component search, subsyste ...

Searching a Target with a Mobile Robot

Adriana Tapus

This paper presents an application of the Markov Decision Processes to search a target with a mobile robot. The robot does not know the absolute position of the target. It only knows the position of the target relative to its position. Markov Decision Proc ...
