Research facility in micromanipulation

该项目的目的是在莫纳什大学和迪肯大学之间建立一个独特的联合设施，用于微操作研究。拟议的设施将包括复杂/智能微操作系统，其运动精度为0.01-0.1微米（10-100纳米）。这将是澳大利亚唯一的同类设施，并将在先进微操作系统，机器人辅助显微外科，复杂系统的基于感官和智能控制，微装配/制造，远程机器人/远程外科，微操作器的运动学和动力学，激光控制和生物技术的研究和开发中提供关键的使能技术。该设施将支持和加强一些具有公认潜力的高质量、当前和未来的研究项目。

The aim of the program is to establish a unique joint facility between Monash and Deakin for micromanipulation research. The proposed facility will consist of complex/intelligent micromanipulation systems capable of motion accuracy of 0.01-0.1 micrometer (10-100 nm). This will be the only facility of its kind in Australia and will provide a key enabling technology in the research and development of advanced micromanipulation systems, robotic-assisted microsurgery, sensory-based and intelligent control of complex systems, micro assembly/manufacturing, telerobotics/telesurgery, kinematics and dynamics of micromanipulators, laser-based control, and biotechnology. The facility will support and enhance a number of high-quality, current and future research projects with recognised potential.
