Phase II: Nanomanipulator Design

This project aims to broaden collaboration in nanoscale science by developing a low-cost, remotely accessible nanomanipulator with ultra-high precision positioning capabilities. Phase II involves enhancing the Phase I manipulator by adding internet controllability, improving current device capabilities, and ensuring robust operation by addressing issues like backlash, drift, and sticktion. The design will include closed-loop position feedback and manufacturing considerations. Stakeholders include professors from RIT Mechanical and Computer Engineering departments, Nano-Bio Interface Laboratory staff, the Phase I Senior Design Team, and end-users such as students and scientists. Challenges include defining specifications for remote control and quantifying behaviors like backlash, while balancing cost-efficiency with performance. The success of Phase II hinges on the achievements of the ongoing Phase I project.

  4. Needs Rankings

  5. Needs Rankings

  6. Next Steps/Points of Concern • Points of Concern • Figure out how to give specifications for remote control • How to give specification for hard to quantify behavior i.e. Backlash • Balance the need for a cheap design and the need for a performing design • Total scope of project is dependent on success of the ongoing Phase 1
