This paper presents the dynamic analysis and speed control of a novel micro-robotic platform that is able to move with sub-micrometer positioning accuracy at velocities up to 1.5 mm/s. The platform actuation system employs vibration micro-motors. The motion principle is discussed. The dynamic model of the platform and of its actuation system is developed and its operating constraints are analyt...

This study deals with the determination of various topographic parameters and characteristics of micro & macro nutrient of soil sample existing in the Sandhari nala watershed. The specific locations of various soils sampling area situated at different villages of watershed were identified using Global Positioning System (GPS). Soil samples collected from different locations of the watershed wer...

Lensless on-chip imaging is a promising technique to count and monitor cells and micro-objects in liquid sample. In this paper we apply this technique to the observation of µL sample containing bacteria evaporated onto a microscope slide. Compared with previously reported techniques, a large improvement in signal to noise ratio is obtained due to the presence of a few μm thick wetting film crea...

abstract: application of atomic force microscope as a manipulator for pushing-based positioning of nano-particles has been of considerable interest during recent years. however a detailed modeling of the interaction forces and control on the afm tip is important for prosperous manipulation control, a reliable control of the afm tip position during the afm-based manipulation process is a main is...

The GPS (Global Positioning System) is currently the most favoured tool for location determination and navigation. Combined with mobile phones, it has gained rapid acceptance among the wider community. The integration of mobile phones and GPS receivers has provided a very powerful tool with great potential for devolvement into future mobile applications. The proposed “GlobeTracker” system explo...

In the probe-based storage concept being pursued by IBM, a MEMS based micro-scanner is used to position the storage medium relative to the read/write probes. To achieve repeatable positioning over a large storage area, it is necessary to have medium-derived position information. Dedicated servo-fields are typically employed to obtain medium-derived position information. Sub-nanometer positionin...
