Descriptions and Challenges of AFM Based Nanorobotic Systems

摘要: Nanorobotics means literally the study of robots that are nanoscale in typical size, i.e. nanorobots,which have yet to be realized. Generally, nanorobots large capable manipulation objects with nanometer resolution, e.g. a AFMbased nanorobotic system and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped nanomanipulator.When studying nanorobotics, we first understand physics underlies interactions at nanoscale. At microscale, some basic micromanipulation problems attributed scale affects been identified. We seen how surface effects, instead volume dominate physical phenomena this scale. Most these scaling laws still available However, become more severe due additional three orders magnitude size reduction, it becomes much difficult predict control because effects uncertainties introduced when nanomanipulation performed nanoworld.
