Book excerpt: The field of untethered microrobotics has emerged within the last two decades for its applications potential in military surveillance, micro and nano manufacturing, as well as in health care for minimal invasive surgery and drug delivery. Microrobots need to be fast and precise in order to be useful as a tool for manufacturing applications. It is well understood that at this size scale numerous challenges prevail such as stiction between microrobot and environment, providing power, locomotion control, and intelligence to microrobots and motion measurement. In order to accelerate the research in this field, I participated in the Mobile Microrobotics Challenge (MMC). MMC is an annual event organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS) since 2013 and designed to encourage researchers around the world to solve pressing challenges in microrobotics. The challenge is composed of three events: 1) the autonomous mobility and accuracy challenge, 2) the microassembly challenge and 3) the MMC showcase and poster session. These challenges simulate common tasks that are found in medical applications, involving high speed closed-loop positioning, and in microassembly applications involving precision motion control and the later and the showcase and poster challenge tests your communication skills. This thesis investigates and provides methods to mitigate the problems of stiction, locomotion control, and motion measurement for microrobots. In addition, we discuss novel methods for providing cooperative behavior to multiple microrobots and to estimate and mitigate spatial uncertainty estimation for modular serial link robotic platforms. In this dissertation I describe novel methods to enhance the performance of magnetic microrobots, reduce environmental forces via inexpensive anti-friction coatings, and increase their velocities via novel mechanical amplifiers. Such methods generate swarming motions, with a leader and formation following behavior, and cooperative planar motions compatible with micromanipulation tasks such as grasping. Moreover, I provide a possible application scenario using such cooperative behavior to assemble optical elements.The cooperative grasping behavior is produced by the magnetic field gradient controlled by a modular multi-degree of freedom serial link robot used to position the conical permanent magnet with respect to the robots' workspace. In the course of this research it was necessary to precisely characterize and compensate for the spatial uncertainty of the robot. Spatial uncertainty is an inherent feature of multiple-link robots due to misalignment of joints, link length, resolution of the actuator, the type of joint, the path of motion and the atmosphere of operation. Such uncertainties can be detrimental for robots used in assembly tasks where precision is essential. In order to overcome this fundamental challenge with flexible or modular assembly and packaging systems, I presents a novel precision evaluation and control technique to estimate and track the end-effector position errors in a robotic manipulation system resulting from the kinematic configuration as well as the dynamic parameters for each specific task; thereby, allowing the automation application to compensate for these errors in run-time.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cooperative manipulation of a common object using two or more manipulators is a popular research field in both industry and institutions. Different types of manipulators are used in cooperative manipulation for carrying heavy loads and delicate operations. Their applications range from macro to micro. In this thesis, we are interested in the development of a novel cooperative manipulator for manipulation tasks in a small workspace. The resultant cooperative manipulation system consists of a magnetically navigated microrobot (MNM) and a motorized micromanipulator (MM). The MNM is a small cylinder permanent magnet with 10mm diameter and 10mm height. The MM model is MP-285 which is a commercialized product. Here, the MNM is remotely controlled by an external magnetic field. The property of non-contact manipulation makes it a suitable choice for manipulation in a confined space. The cooperative manipulation system in this thesis used a master/slave mechanism as the central control strategy. The MM is the master side. The MNM is the slave side. During the manipulation process, the master manipulator MM is always position controlled, and it leads the object translation according to the kinematic constraints of the cooperative manipulation task. The MNM is position controlled at the beginning of the manipulation. In the translation stage, the MNM is switched to force control to maintain a successful holding of the object, and at the same time to prevent damaging the object by large holding force. Under the force control mode, the motion command to the MNM is calculated from a position-based impedance controller that enforces a relationship between the position of the MNM and the force. In this research, the accurate motion control of both manipulators are firstly studied before the cooperative manipulation is conducted. For the magnetic navigation system, the magnetic field in its workspace is modeled using an experimental measurement data-driven technique. The developed model is then used to develop a motion controller for navigating of a small cylindrical permanent magnet. The accuracy of motion control is reached at 20 [mu]m in three degrees of freedom. For the motorized micromanipulator, a standard PID controller is designed to control its motion stage. The accuracy of the MM navigation is 0.8 [mu]m. Since the MNM is remotely manipulated by an external magnetic field in a small space, it is challenging to install an on-board force sensor to measure the contact force between the MNM and the object. Therefore, a dual-axial o_-board force determination mechanism is proposed. The force is determined according to the linear relation between the minimum magnetic potential energy point and the real position of the MNM in the workspace. For convenience, the minimum magnetic potential energy point is defined as the Bmax in the literature. In this thesis, the dual-axial Bmax position is determined by measuring the magnetic ux density passing through the workspace using four Hall-effect sensors installed at the bottom of an iron pole-piece. The force model is experimentally validated in a horizontal plane with an accuracy of 2 [mu]N in the x- and y- direction of horizontal planes. The proposed cooperative manipulator is then used to translate a hard-shell small object in two directions of a vertical plane, while one direction is constrained with a desired holding force. During the manipulation process, a digital camera is used to capture the real-time position of the MNM, the MM end-effector, and the manipulated object. To improve the performance of force control on the MNM, the proposed dual-axial force model is used to examine the compliant force control of the MNM while it is navigated to contact with uncertain environments. Here, uncertain refers to unknown environmental stiffness. An adaptive position-based impedance controller is implemented to estimate the stiffness of the environment and the contact force. The controller is examined by navigating the MNM to push a thin aluminum beam whose stiffness is unknown. The studied cooperative manipulation system has potential applications in biomedical microsurgery and microinjection. It should be clarified that the current system setup with 10mm x10 mm MNM is not proper for this micromanipulation. In order to conduct research on microinjection, the size of the MNM and the end-effector of the MNM should be down-scaled to micrometers. In addition, the navigation accuracy of the MNM should also be improved to adopt the micromanipulation tasks.

Book excerpt: This book reports on advances in sensing, modeling and control methods for different robotic platforms such as multi-degree of freedom robotic arms, unmanned aerial vehicles and autonomous mobile platforms. Based on 2018 Symposium on Mechatronics, Robotics, and Control (SMTRC’18), held as part of the 2018 CSME International Congress, in York University, Toronto, Canada, the book covers a variety of topics, from filtering and state estimation to adaptive control of reconfigurable robots and more. Next-generation systems with advanced control, planning, perception and interaction capabilities will achieve functionalities far beyond today’s technology. Two key challenges remaining for advanced robot technologies are related to sensing and control in robotic systems. Advanced perception is needed to navigate changing environments. Adaptive and intelligent control systems must be developed to enable operation in unstructured and dynamic environments. The selected chapters in this book focus on both of the aforementioned areas and highlight the main trends and challenges in robot sensing and control. The first part of the book introduces chapters which focus on advanced perception and sensing for robotics applications. They include sensor filtering and state estimation for bipedal robots and motion capture systems analysis. The second part focuses on different modeling and control methods for robotic systems including flight control for UAVs, multi-variable robust control for modular and reconfigurable robotics and control for precision micromanipulation.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untethered robotic micromanipulators are devices that physically interact with components on the microscale (sizes less than a few millimeters), and usually within a remote workspace, that enhance the precision and accuracy of manipulation by an unaided hand. Addressing the low levels of dexterity, precise kinematics and dynamics, and versatility are the current limitations that have been the focus of recent studies. The two novel methods presented in this thesis use magnetic and acoustic fields to achieve dexterous and precise micromanipulation characteristics to tackle the current gaps. A magneto-acoustic system is developed for magnetic actuation, with sub-body-length precision, of magnetic microrobots for dry surface and levitated contactless micromanipulations and the performances of each method are characterized. The capabilities of both methods are shown by real-world microassembly demonstration for assembly of microscale-sized optical components. For the first time, a permanent magnet sphere was levitated open-loop with small magnetic and acoustic field magnitudes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My PhD dissertation takes an innovative approach to using the fundamental tools of robotics and control to solve the underactuated control problem of multiple magnetic microrobots for biomedical applications. The ability to use a team of microrobots to run a task can offer many advantages. However, the integration of on-board powering and sensing circuitry has not yet become possible at the microscale. Therefore, all magnetic microrobots (micro-agents) of the team have to share a single driving signal, whereas the system has multiple states to be independently controlled. Another major challenge with magnetic team control is that when multiple magnetic microrobots work together in close proximity, the agents tend to irreversibly stick together due to strong magnetic inter-agent forces. Previous studies either ignored the inter-agent forces by simply assuming their robots were far apart or treated these forces as disturbances without verifying the stability in close proximity. I solved for the first time this problem for a pair of magnetic agents in close proximity in 2D (and later in 3D) by making full use of inter-agent forces to control the motion of agents. In my approach, the positions of microrobots were controlled independently. As a practical demonstration, I showed for the first time that the motion of two functional magnetic microrobots as microgrippers can be controlled in 3D to run a task. Subsequently, to generalize the inter-agent force control to more agents, I introduced two solutions: 1) via optimization-based control (as a control technique), and 2) via motion planning and tracking (as a robotics technique). My PhD research enabled for the first time the collision-free autonomous navigation of a team of magnetic microrobots in close proximity. This solution allows magnetic microrobots to potentially act in a cluttered environment, such as the human body or microfluidic channels. To this end, I employed rapidly-exploring random tree (RRT) motion planning. I further incorporated the idea to run two practical demos that could be applied to cell testing/manipulation. The results of this PhD work can be applied to actuation and sensing, especially in the design of field-activated medical devices and for localized targeted drug delivery.

Book excerpt: The first textbook on micron-scale mobile robotics, introducing the fundamentals of design, analysis, fabrication, and control, and drawing on case studies of existing approaches. Progress in micro- and nano-scale science and technology has created a demand for new microsystems for high-impact applications in healthcare, biotechnology, manufacturing, and mobile sensor networks. The new robotics field of microrobotics has emerged to extend our interactions and explorations to sub-millimeter scales. This is the first textbook on micron-scale mobile robotics, introducing the fundamentals of design, analysis, fabrication, and control, and drawing on case studies of existing approaches. The book covers the scaling laws that can be used to determine the dominant forces and effects at the micron scale; models forces acting on microrobots, including surface forces, friction, and viscous drag; and describes such possible microfabrication techniques as photo-lithography, bulk micromachining, and deep reactive ion etching. It presents on-board and remote sensing methods, noting that remote sensors are currently more feasible; studies possible on-board microactuators; discusses self-propulsion methods that use self-generated local gradients and fields or biological cells in liquid environments; and describes remote microrobot actuation methods for use in limited spaces such as inside the human body. It covers possible on-board powering methods, indispensable in future medical and other applications; locomotion methods for robots on surfaces, in liquids, in air, and on fluid-air interfaces; and the challenges of microrobot localization and control, in particular multi-robot control methods for magnetic microrobots. Finally, the book addresses current and future applications, including noninvasive medical diagnosis and treatment, environmental remediation, and scientific tools.

Book excerpt: Microbiorobotics is a new engineering discipline that inherently involves a multidisciplinary approach (mechanical engineering, cellular biology, mathematical modeling, control systems, synthetic biology, etc). Building robotics system in the micro scale is an engineering task that has resulted in many important applications, ranging from micromanufacturing techniques to cellular manipulation. However, it is also a very challenging engineering task. One of the reasons is because many engineering ideas and principles that are used in larger scales do not scale well to the micro-scale. For example, locomotion principles in a fluid do not function in the same way, and the use of rotational motors is impractical because of the difficulty of building of the required components. Microrobotics is an area that is acknowledged to have massive potential in applications from medicine to manufacturing. This book introduces an inter-disciplinary readership to the toolkit that micro-organisms offer to micro-engineering The design of robots, sensors and actuators faces a range of techology challenges at the micro-scale. This book shows how biological techniques and materials can be used to meet these challenges World-class multi-disciplanry editors and contributors leverage insights from engineering, mathematical modeling and the life sciences – creating a novel toolkit for microrobotics
