Abstract

This paper surveys the history of tip based micro/nanomanipulation systems and the contributions of the authors in this topic. Atomic force microscope or scanning tunnerling microscope type of microscopes has been used as nanorobotic manipulation systems since 1990. Using single or multiple tips, many mechanical, electrical, and chemical micro/nanomanipulation applications have demonstrated. The authors contributed to teleoperated and automated control of such systems and also developed new tip based micro/nanomanipulation methods to draw polymer micro/nanofibers and create nanowires on substrates precisely and repeatedly.
