Presentation Transcript

    1. Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics 1 Micro Robotics Dr. Heidi Fearn CLE Lecture 5 April 11th Spring 2005

    2. 2 Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics We already Know about Drexler’s dream of diamond based nanomachines- http://science.howstuffworks.com/nanotechnology.htm/printable

    3. 3 Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics Here are some animations of the Drexler’s gears might work- computer animated. http://science.howstuffworks.com/nanotechnology.htm/printable

    4. 4 Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics What am I going to talk about today? Micro robots for use in nuclear plants- crawl into small spaces that are otherwise inaccessible. Flying robots for use in surveillance and planetary exploration (Mars- NASA). Swimming robots- small enough to enter the body for highly localized drug delivery and screening for diseases Self reconfigurable robot- atomic unit modular. Control of a micro organism as a prototype micro-robot.

    5. 5 Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics So What Robots can we make now? And how big are they?? MIT has a very active AI (artificial intelligence group) see links below http://www.csail.mit.edu/index.php http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/livingmachines/overview/overview.shtml There are many Universities and government agencies interested in tiny robots, eg. NASA, DARPA and the DOD. Let’s start with the bigger robots and work our way down in scale. MIT groups Including Crystalline atomic unit modular self-reconfigurable robots. Case Western University group KTH Microsystems technology group Sandia Laboratory Nanorobotics Lab @ Carnegie Mellon University DARPA Microbot Homepage and NASA Berkeley for true micro robotics.

    6. 6 Dr. H. Fearn CSUF Physics Robots that fly, walk and hop.
