Improved Large Deflection Micro and Nano Manipulator
Researchers at Purdue University have designed a new microrobotic manipulator with improved range of motion and self-calibration. This manipulator replaces the fixed cantilever with a microscopic arm that is actuated by piezoelectric muscles. The arm has three degrees of freedom and has integrated sensors that allow it to sense its position and self-calibrate. No positioning stage or laser-photodiode positioning is needed, so the arm is able to operate on an object of any size, even in murky environments.
