Outline of Final Research Achievements

Micromanipulator systems for handling a wide variety of micro-objects such as cells, biomolecules and micromachines are desired to have the abilities to operate objects which have various characteristics in gas / liquid more enclosed space and operate, and to easily exchange needles (fingertips) which have various functions, and be free from wiring problems for operating. In this research, the concept of the micromanipulator system for satisfying the above requirements was proposed. Then gripping, rotating and translational function parts constituting the driving unit for the system were designed, fabricated and their characteristics were examined.
