Development of ICPF Actuated Underwater Microrobots
It is our target to develop underwater microrobots for medical and industrial applications. This kind of underwater microrobots should have the characteristics of flexibility, good response and safety. Its structure should be simple and it can be driven by low voltage and produces no pollution or noise. The low actuating voltage and quick bending responses of Ionic Conducting Polymer Film (ICPF...
متن کاملMotion-control analysis of ICPF-actuated underwater biomimetic microrobots
This paper introduces the development of biomimetic underwater microrobots consisting of AVR microcontroller, an infrared ray communication system, and ionic conducting polymer film (ICPF) actuators. We use AVR ATmega16 as the control unit and an infrared ray receiver to provide feedback to the AVR unit. The spiral particle pathway searching approach is developed to search for particles. We als...
متن کاملLight Actuated Microfluidic Devices
A light-actuated microfluidic device has been successfully fabricated to inject, move, separate, and merge liquid droplets with nano-liter volumes. Light actuation is realized by sandwiching the liquid droplets between two photosensitive surfaces whose wettability can he changed by light. By integrating a photoconductor with an electrowetting electrode, the surface tension at the liquidsolid in...
متن کاملMechanical performance of three-dimensional bio- nanocomposite scaffolds designed with digital light processing for biomedical applications
Introduction: The need for biocompatible and bioactive scaffolds to accelerate the regeneration and repair of fractured bones has been considered for bone tissue engineering applications during recent decades. The new methods were developed to produce scaffolds to improve the tissue quality, size of cavities, control the porosity and increase the scaffold compressive strength u...
متن کاملUncalibrated Visual Servo Control of Magnetically Actuated Microrobots in a Fluid Environment
Microrobots have a number of potential applications for micromanipulation and assembly, but also offer challenges in power and control. This paper describes an uncalibrated vision-based control system for magnetically actuated microrobots operating untethered at the interface between two immiscible fluids. The microrobots are 20 μm thick and approximately 100–200 μm in lateral dimension. Severa...
