Digital holography is used to track the three-dimensional position of a magnetic microrobot maneuvered in real time by means of an electromagnetic manipulation system. The method presented is able to process holograms at 40 Hz with a position accuracy in the imaging plane and in depth of <inline-for
In this paper, we present a holistic system for automating the motion of a rolling microrobot for protein crystal harvesting. The RodBot, which was introduced in previous work, is able to perform noncontact manipulation of microscopic objects such as fragile crystals by trapping them in an induced v…
We introduce the modelling and control of a rolling microrobot. The microrobot is capable of manipulating micro-objects through the use of a magnetic visual control system. This system consists of a rod-shaped microrobot, a magnetic actuation system and a visual control system. Motion of the rolling…
