Micro-Nano Mechatronics is a brand new scope that was recently introduced by Professor Toshio Fukuda, an international leader in the field of robotics and automation. In his research “Micro-Nano Mechatronics”, which was conducted in his lab at Nagoya University in japan, Fukuda used sensors, actuators, and electronics that attribute to the Micro-Nano Scale. “In my lab, we do many different kinds of robotic systems, medical robotics, and particularly medical simulators”, said Fukada during his interview with Hallie Siegei.
Micro-Nano Mechatronics is currently used in broader spectra, ranging from basic applications in robotics, actuators, sensors, and machine tools. Researchers in Nagoya University believe that this field is a “strategic …show more content…
When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us lost and confused.” It seems such obvious wisdom now, a well-worn cliché in our era in which everything truly insightful has already been said. But all clichés derive their endurance from their truth. Since the initiation of the 21st century, technology has been eminently advancing and creating various unaccustomed fields that contribute to our society. One of those strategic fields highlighting the modern world is Micro-Nano …show more content…
Furthermore, since investigation of mechanical characteristics of cells is really important to recognize their functions and growth factors, micro‐nano actuators are highly required to stimulate and measure for an investigation of single cell. Since conventional commercial manipulators are quite large and slow, it is desired to develop high‐performance tools which include micro‐nano robots capable of manipulation and sensing of cells with a high‐speed and a high‐throughput. By applying micro fabrication technique such as Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, we can make and integrate tiny mechanical parts such as robots about similar size as cells with a diameter of 10‐100 Micrometers (μm). Therefore, for biology application, micro‐nano fabrication and robotics are also important in order to realize the novel robots and
