A nanomanipulation platform for semi automated manipulation of nano-sized objects using mobile microrobots inside a Scanning Electron Microscope

In the scope of the NanoHand project, a compact and versatile nanomanipulation platform is being developed. This platform is aimed to manipulate and characterize nano-sized objects using the vision feedback from a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The platform is composed of mobile microrobots with four degrees of freedom (X,Y,Z,θz) located on a cartesian XY stage. Thanks to its compactness, the complete platform can be loaded through the exchange bay of a SEM. Final application is the manipulation and characterization of CNTs (Carbon Nanotubes) and nanowires.
