ABSTARCT
Nanorobotics is an emerging field that deals with the controlled manipulation of
objects with nanometer-scale dimensions. Typically, an atom has a diameter of a few
ngstroms (1 = 0.1 nm = 10-10 m), a molecule's size is a few nm, and clusters or
nanoparticles formed by hundreds or thousands of atoms have sizes of tens of nm.
Therefore, Nanorobotics is concerned with interactions with atomic- and molecular-
sized objects-and is sometimes called Molecular Robotics. Nanotechnology is being
pursued along two converging directions. From the top down, semiconductor
fabrication techniques are producing smaller and smaller structures-see e.g. [Colton
& Marrian 1995] for recent work. For example, the line width of the original Pentium
chip is 350 nm. Current optical lithography techniques have obvious resolution
limitations because of the wavelength of visible light, which is in the order of 500
nm. X-ray and electron-beam lithography will push sizes further down, but with a
great increase in complexity and cost of fabrication. These top-down techniques do
not seem promising for building nanomachines that require precise positioning of
atoms or molecules.

Ultrasonic motors
Abstract
This paper proposed structural design methods for the development of high-
efficiency linear ultrasonic motors (LUMs) that can be applied in robotic fields. A
continuous variable cross-section Langevin vibrator was adopted for higher
vibration efficiency of the stator. To improve the structural stability of the motor,
the clamping component of the stator and the applying method of pre-pressure
were modified as well. The clamping component was designed as a structure with
flexible hinge. Furthermore, three types of LUMs were designed based on the
proposed design methods. Experimental results showed that their feature size,
maximum thrust, maximum speed and displacement resolution are 35-60 mm, 37
N, 1 mm/s and 50 nm, respectively, which indicated the designed LUMs had good
output performance and precision. Finally, several applications of these designed
LUMs including micromanipulator, absolute gravimeter and car top window were
introduced.
