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. ***

尼尔森9724755 该奖项支持日本科学技术厅（STA）在日本筑波机械工程实验室为James Nielsen博士提供为期九个月的博士后奖学金。 Nielsen博士将与机器人学系的研究科学家Tamio Tanikawa博士合作，开展一项名为“超微型机械手的结构设计优化”的研究项目。" 拟议的研究旨在优化超微机械手的设计和功能，该设备具有操纵生物细胞，微加工部件和其他小尺寸物体所需的精度。 具体来说，分析将集中在开发的“平行”机制，用于驱动机器人微手的手指的结构。 选择一个平行的机械手，它使用六个平行的腿来执行规定的活动，是自然的应用，因为该设计具有高度的刚度和精度和所需的运动范围所需的手指是比较有限的。 该项目的主要目标将是优化用于生物技术，微机械和显微外科技术的结构布置。 ***
