“…You know, in the atomic energy plants they have materials and machines that they can’t handle directly because they have become radioactive. To unscrew nuts and put on bolts and so on, they have a set of master and slave hands, so that by operating a set of levers here, you control the “hands” there, and can turn them this way and that so you can handle things quite nicely.” - Richard Feynmen[1][1] There's plenty of room at the bottom, Feynman, R.P.; IEEE JMEMS, vol 1, issue 1, 1992 , pp 60 - 66

OBJECTIVE
1. Ability to handle micro-scale objects in the range 0-100µm.
2. Ability to manipulate the micro-objects at sub-micron resolution (~0.5µm) with meso-scale (~25mm) travel.
3. Provide tactile interaction with micro-scale objects (Haptic interface).

LITERATURE REVIEW
Micromanipulation of micro-objects using electrostatic microgripper and its bio-compatibility was reported by Felix et al.[3].

LITERATURE REVIEW
Our method differs from the work discussed by Trinh Chu et al.[4]. They do not have haptic based control of axial motion and gripper actuation.

CONCLUSION• A mesoscale (~24mm) to microscale (~0.3µm) controlled manipulation
system has been designed, developed and integrated with a high-fidelity three-dimensional force feedback haptic device.
• Demonstrated micro – object handling using MEMS gripper and haptic interface.
• This system will be used for precision handling of biological cells, other small objects, and micro assembly applications.
Results achieved:1. Travel range – ~0 to ± 12mm2. Step resolution – ~<0.5µm3. Operating speed achieved ~100µm/min. (VI controlled)4. Handling forces – observed 50µN while handling SF-9 cells
