MiniMag: A Hemispherical Electromagnetic System for 5-DOF Wireless Micromanipulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MiniMag is a magnetic manipulation system capable of 5 degreeof-freedom (5-DOF) wireless magnetic control of an untethered microrobot (3-DOF position, 2-DOF pointing orientation). The system has a spherical workspace with an intended diameter of approximately 10 mm, and is completely unrestrained in the rotational degrees-of-freedom. This is accomplished through the superposition of multiple magnetic fields, and capitalizes on a linear representation of the coupled field contributions of multiple soft-magnetic-core electromagnets acting in concert. The prototype system consists of 8 stationary electromagnets with ferromagnetic cores, and is capable of producing magnetic fields in excess of 20 mT and field gradients in excess of 2 T/m at frequencies up 2 kHz.

OctoMag: An Electromagnetic System for 5-DOF Wireless Manipulation
We demonstrate five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) wireless magnetic control of a fully untethered microrobot with a magnetic steering system we call OctoMag. Although only occupying a single hemisphere, this system is capable of isotropically applying forces on the order of 1–40 μN with unrestricted control of the 2 orienting DOF. These capabilities are enabled through the use of soft-magnetic-core...
متن کاملAn adaptive depth of field imaging system for micromanipulation
Vision-based techniques used in automatic micromanipulation are limited by small depth of field (DOF) because of high magnification and big numerical aperture of optical system. This paper proposed a new adaptive DOF image system which can adaptively adjust DOF during micromanipulation while maintaining high resolution of the images. The proposed system uses a spatial light modulator instead of...

متن کاملDevelopment of Micromanipulator and Haptic Interface for Networked Micromanipulation
In this paper, telemicromanipulation systems with haptic feedback, which are connected through network, are proposed. It is based on scaled bilateral teleoperation systems between different structures. These systems are composed of an original 6 degree of freedom (DOF) parallel link manipulator to carry out micromanipulation and a 6-DOF haptic interface with force feedback. A parallel mechanism...
