The integration of Nanotechnology (NT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises significant
benefits across industries like medicine, energy, and materials science. This study examines …

Piezo-driven precision positioning platforms with large stroke are greatly demanded in both
scientific research and industrial applications. Although various principles have been …

The ability to do dexterous automated and semi-automated tasks at the micro-and nano-
meter scales inside a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a critical issue for …

Under the same driving voltage and frequency, the forward and reverse motion
inconsistency of stick-slip piezoelectric actuators would bring difficulty for subsequent …

For the purpose of increasing the self-locking ability of piezoelectric actuators designed by
the parasitic motion principle (PMP), reducing the initial gap and applying a preloading force …

Traditional Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) allow a short range displacement of the AFM
probe, on the order of several tens of micrometers. When used inside an Electron …

In this paper, a new type of single butterfly piezo stick-slip linear actuator is proposed. The
butterfly stator is driven by two symmetrical rectangular piezoelectric vibrators that are fixed …

This article proposes a method for the correction of angular deviations caused during the
fixing process of samples prepared for Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The correction is …

This article deals with an original haptic teleoperation and human–robot interaction (HRI) for
microrobotic tasks involving optics and more generally light information. It aims to …

The spherical joint is an effective solution to design parallel micro-robotic systems with
rotation capabilities in the three-dimensional space. This type of joint has however some …
