How big is a nanometer? According to its definition, a nanometer is a one-billionth of a meter. How can we work with this tiny measurement? With precise tools and with tiny robots designed to achieve complex manipulation. In this category enters the miBot, a performance manipulator engineered in order to achieve autonomous movements and to enable the interaction with micro- and nano-sized objects.
The performances of this small nanometer manipulator cannot be achieved without using revolutionary technologies such as piezo actuators able to provide extremely precise and easy control. The robot extension is a small arm with a micro-tool that can be changed depending on the application.
With its features the robot can be used in research and development applications in different fields such as electrical testing of LEDs or other electronic components, manipulation and interaction with single cells, or 4-point probe measurements on Si semiconductor nanowires.
You don’t have to be an engineer in robotics to work with miBot. It has an intelligent control system that can be learned in minutes. The set-up and reconfigure of the manipulator manipulator can be pre-positioned by hand, so that you can obtain results very quickly from your application.
The specifications include 4 degrees of freedom, a custom programmable system for repetitive tasks, an intuitive control with a pad or with a software interface, an ultra compact design with only 5 cm3, and a maximum speed of 2.5 mm/s.
