  1. 1. Actuators for autonomous microrobots

    Author : Niklas Snis; Stefan Johansson; Urban Simu; Alvo Aabloo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Engineering physics; Locomotion; Microrobot; PZT; P VDF-TrFE ; Autonomous; Multilayer; Actuator; Teknisk fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents actuators used in autonomous microsystems. Characteristic for all actuators presented is the low drive voltage and the low power consumption. Different motion mechanisms have been studied and applied in various locomotion modules for microrobots. READ MORE

  5. 5. Nanoscale studies of functional materials using scanning probe microscopy

    Author : Jesper Wittborn; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with developing suitable modifications ofScanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for investigations offunctional properties of materials. In order to make itpossible to investigate a number of properties of variousfunctional systemsusing SPM the following new techniques have beendeveloped:    A magnetic force microscope (MFM) having capability ofboth dc- and ac-mode detection.
