Phase II: Nanomanipulator Design Problem Statement: Broaden participation and collaboration in nanoscale science by creating low cost, remotely accessible instrumentation.
Goals/Update • What is a nanomanipulator? • Ultra high precision position instrument • What does Phase II entail? • Add function to Phase 1 Manipulator • Add over the internet controllability • Improve Current device capabilities • Add robustness in operation (remove blacklash/drift/sticktion) • Closed Loop position feed back and knowledge • Design for manufacture
Stakeholders • Prof Schrlau (RIT Mechanical Engineering) • Prof Stevens (RIT Mechanical Engineering) • Prof Melton (RIT Computer Engineering) • Nano-Bio Interface Laboratory Staff • Phase 1 Senior Design Team • End users of product (Students/Scientists)
Next Steps/Points of Concern • Points of Concern • Figure out how to give specifications for remote control • How to give specification for hard to quantify behavior i.e. Backlash • Balance the need for a cheap design and the need for a performing design • Total scope of project is dependent on success of the ongoing Phase 1
