Nielsen 9724755 This award supports a nine month Science and Technology Agency of Japan (STA) Postdoctoral Fellowship for Dr. James Nielsen at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Tsukuba, Japan. Dr. Nielsen will work with Dr. Tamio Tanikawa, research scientist in the Department of Robotics, on a research project entitled, "Structural Design Optimization of an Ultra Micro Manipulator." The proposed research seeks to optimize both the design and function of an ultra-micro manipulator, a device which has the precision necessary to manipulate biological cells, micro-machined parts, and other small-scale objects. Specifically, the analysis will focus on developing the structure of an "in-parallel" mechanism used to actuate the fingers of a robotic micro hand. The choice of an in parallel manipulator, which uses six parallel legs to perform prescribed activities, is natural for this application in that the design possesses a high degree of both stiffness and precision and the required range of motion needed for the fingers is comparatively limited. The primary goal of the project will be to optimize the structural arrangement for use in biotechnological, micro machine, and micro-surgery techniques. ***

Nielsen 9724755该奖项支持日本的九个月科学技术机构（STA）在日本Tsukuba机械工程实验室的James Nielsen博士博士后奖学金。 Nielsen博士将与机器人科学系研究科学家Tamio Tanikawa博士合作，题为“超微型操纵器的结构设计优化”。 拟议的研究旨在优化超微小操纵器的设计和功能，该设备具有操纵生物细胞，微置零件和其他小规模物体所需的精确度。 具体而言，该分析将集中于开发用于攻击机器人微手指手指的“并行”机制的结构。 使用六个平行腿进行规定的活动的并行操纵器的选择对于此应用而言是自然的，因为该设计具有高度的刚度和精度，并且手指所需的运动范围相对有限。 该项目的主要目标是优化在生物技术，微型机器和微手术技术中使用的结构布置。 ***
