This research will entail the design of magnetically levitated micro-           robots which are capable of submicron-level six-degree-of-freedom               motion over large ranges.  Micro-robots are microelectromechanical              devices capable of repeatable, precise automated, micron-level                  motions.  They potentially have great application in such technologies          as the construction of hybrid devices with associated semiconductor             devices.  The magnetic levitation approach was selected because                 magnetically-levitated systems can function in harsh environments and           minimize friction effects and the associated problems of fine particle          matter generation.  Additionally, such systems can be designed to               provide movement to absolutely defined locations so that motion errors          do not compound.  The research will entail four major paths of study:           development of analytical tools which may be used for design of                 magnetic levitation microbiotic systems, development of a sensor                system suitable for a levitation system at least four degrees of                freedom, design of a macro/micro-robot pair system which permits high           precision motion over a wide range, and demonstration of the system             performing a variety of tasks.
