IIS-0448042CAREER: Nano-Robotic Manipulation Systemsusing Atomic Force Microscope ProbesNano-robotics has recently emerged as a new robotics field that encompasses the programmable manipulation of nano-scale objects where the manipulation dynamics is dominated by nano-scale physics, chemistry, and scaling effects. This career development program is aimed to advance nano-robotics science and engineering related research and educational activities with novel approaches. The research activities in this program will be focused on developing theories and methodologies for analyzing, designing, building, and controlling Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) based nano-robotic manipulation systems. The primary educational goal of this program is to train undergraduate, graduate level, and underrepresented students to be near future intellectual leaders and workforce for newly emerging nano-robotics and nanotechnology areas. To achieve this goal: a new interdisciplinary undergraduate level nanotechnology minor program will be initiated, novel, interdisciplinary and fundamental nanotechnology related engineering courses will be developed, and novel educational tools for remote and interactive nanotechnology training will be introduced. As scientific merits of this work, the understanding of nano-scale physics and dynamics for reliable nano-robot design, prototyping, and control by modeling will be improved, AFM based novel three-dimensional, autonomous, miniature, and massively parallel nano-robotic manipulation systems will be investigated for high volume nano-manufacturing applications, and advanced human-machine user interfaces for intuitive nano- robotic interactions will be proposed. As broader impacts, in addition to training undergraduate and graduate students, the developed research and educational activities will include underrepresented groups such as black and women minorities in Pennsylvania through the CMU summer internship program. Moreover, this program will create a 'cyberinfrastructure' using an internet based remotely controlled AFM system to enable students and researchers from institutions with limited resources remote access to advanced nanotechnology equipment. Finally, the products such as nano-material characterization workstation, nano-wire bonder, and nano-fiber puller resulting from the research activities of this program will have a significant industrial impact.

IIS-0448042 CAREER：Nano-Robotic Manipulation Systemsusing Atomic Force Microscope ProbesNano-robotics最近已成为一个新的机器人领域，包括纳米级物体的可编程操作，其中操作动力学由纳米级物理，化学和缩放效应主导。 该职业发展计划旨在通过新颖的方法推进纳米机器人科学和工程相关的研究和教育活动。该计划的研究活动将集中在开发用于分析，设计，构建和控制基于原子力显微镜（AFM）的纳米机器人操作系统的理论和方法。 该计划的主要教育目标是培养本科生，研究生水平和代表性不足的学生成为不久的将来新兴的纳米机器人和纳米技术领域的知识领袖和劳动力。 为实现这一目标：将启动一个新的跨学科本科水平纳米技术辅修项目，开发新颖的、跨学科的和基础的纳米技术相关工程课程，并引入用于远程和交互式纳米技术培训的新颖教育工具。 作为这项工作的科学价值，可靠的纳米机器人设计，原型设计和控制建模的纳米尺度物理和动力学的理解将得到改善，基于AFM的新型三维，自主，微型和大规模并行纳米机器人操作系统将被调查的高容量纳米制造应用，和先进的人机用户界面直观的纳米机器人交互将被提出。 作为更广泛的影响，除了培训本科生和研究生，开发的研究和教育活动将包括代表性不足的群体，如黑人和妇女少数民族在宾夕法尼亚州通过CMU暑期实习计划。 此外，该计划将使用基于互联网的远程控制AFM系统创建一个“网络基础设施”，使资源有限的机构的学生和研究人员能够远程访问先进的纳米技术设备。 最后，本计画之研究活动所产生之产品，如奈米材料特性化工作站、奈米线接合机、奈米纤维拉丝机等，将产生重大的产业影响。
