U.S.-Italy Dissertation Enhancement Research: Shape Deposition Manufacture of Mesoscale Robotic Devices

0138436Cutkosky这六个月的奖励将支持肖恩贝利，在斯坦福大学机械工程系的学生论文增强项目。他将与保罗·达里奥教授在意大利比萨的圣安娜学院（SSSA）的艺术实验室工作。Bailey先生的研究目标是将形状沉积制造（SDM）的分层制造方法扩展到中型机器人设备。 SSSA的研究人员是小型医疗设备设计方面的专家。 在SSSA期间，Bailey先生将熟悉最先进的小型加工机器。 然后，他将使用这些机器开发SDM技术用于中尺度机器人，并通过生产高度传感的中尺度探测器来演示这些新技术。 一个特定的目标是正式的过程规划的约束，适用于这个专门的变化SDM。

0138436CutkoskyThis six-month award will support a dissertation enhancement project of Sean Bailey, a student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He will work with Prof. Paolo Dario at the ARTS Laboratory at the Scuola Superiore Santa Anna (SSSA), in Pisa, Italy. The objective of Mr. Bailey's research is to extend the layered manufacturing approach of Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) to mesoscale robotic devices. The researchers at SSSA are experts in the design of small medical devices. While at SSSA, Mr. Bailey will become familiar with state-of-the-art small-scale processing machines. He will then develop SDM techniques using these machines for mesoscale robots and demonstrate these new techniques by producing a highly sensorized mesoscale probe. A particular goal is to formalize the process planning constraints that apply in this specialized variation on SDM.
