[edit] The MINIMAN project
The EU-Esprit Project No. 33915 Miniaturised robot for micro manipulation was carried out between Oct 1998 and Jan 2002.
[edit] Objective
The goal of the MINIMAN project was to develop smart microrobot with 5 degrees of freedom and a size of a few cubic cm, capable of moving and manipulating by the use of tube-shaped and multilayered piezoactuators.
- handling and assembly of micromechanical parts under a light microscope,
- handling and assembly of micromechanical parts in the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope,
- grasping, moving and sorting of biological cells under a water-resistant optical lens.
The project is finished and you can download the report here.
[edit] Partners
Members from Uppsala, St. Ingbert, Pisa, Barcelona, Karlsruhe (project-leader), and Sheffield have participated in this project. The task of the Sheffield team was to develop computer vision software.
Furthermore Philips Research (PRLE) from Eindhoven and Kammrath & Weiss GmbH (K&W) from Dortmund were involved as industrial partners.
