Innovative Production Machines and Systems Conference

 ♦ Object-oriented nano manipulation

    Real-time object pattern recognition :  deal with the precise interactions between the end-effector of the robot and the object to be manipulated to remove the errors caused by environmental variations and instrument inaccuracy.

♦ Versatile 3D nano handling

    1)  Modular robotic manipulation systems;

    2) Flexibility, adaptability, equipment compatibility, and ease of maintenance.

♦ Automatic or semi-automatic 3D nano assembly.

    Robotic nano assembly:automated techniques for nano gripping, optimal path planning, nano force detection, and overload protection. 

 ♦ Nano rapid prototyping and rapid tooling

    Nano manufacturing robot could be used as a tool for nano rapid prototyping or tooling.

Example: nano stamper with an array of nano tubes.

♦ Hybrid nano handling and  manufacturing

    Task:nano lithography;cutting ;electro-chemical machining;

    Example:[a robotised nano manufacturing system] +[self-assembly/ 'top-down’].
