Abstract

In this article, a method for microparts parallel manipulation with electrostatic forces, applied by conductive electrodes embedded on a Programmable "Smart Platform", is introduced. The design of the platform and the layout of the electrodes underneath the rectangular microparts with respect to the platform's geometry are presented. The electrostatic phenomena that result to the electrostatic forces applied to the microparts by the activated electrodes of the "Smart Platform" are studied in detail. Algorithms for the activation of the platform's electrodes for the motion of the rectangular microparts are introduced and their motion is simulated. The Configuration-Space (C-Space) of the microparts on the "Smart Platform" is defined taking into account the static obstacles that are placed on the platform and the rest of moving microparts. Considering the layout of the platform, the activation algorithms, the motion and the C-Space of the microparts, a modified A* algorithm is proposed and the best path for every moving rectangular micropart on the "Smart Platform", is computed with respect to time. Simulated experiments are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the results are discussed.

摘要

本文介绍了一种利用嵌入可编程“智能平台”的导电电极施加静电力对微零件进行并行操作的方法。介绍了平台的设计以及矩形微零件下方电极相对于平台几何形状的布局。详细研究了由“智能平台”的激活电极施加到微零件上的静电力所产生的静电现象。介绍了用于激活平台电极以使矩形微零件运动的算法,并对其运动进行了模拟。考虑到放置在平台上的静态障碍物和其他移动微零件,定义了“智能平台”上微零件的配置空间(C空间)。考虑到平台的布局、激活算法、微零件的运动和C空间,提出了一种改进的A*算法,并针对时间计算了“智能平台”上每个移动矩形微零件的最佳路径。给出了模拟实验以证明所提方法的有效性,并对结果进行了讨论。
