Two micro-fingered fingers are the subject of study by Huynh Nhat Nam (photo), 25, PhD student at Wollongong University, Australia, recently reported at the International Conference on Control Science, held in Turkey March 2006.

The two-finger robot was built with a mass of 16mg, each with 1mm x 10mm x 0.17mm.

Surprisingly, these are not just small numbers, but they are capable of carrying 12 times the weight of the robot itself with polypyrrole-based polymeric materials instead of conventional motors like electricity. or hydraulic in small size robot systems. The application has very high accuracy, from 1-2 micrometer.

Japanese research results have been published in the international journal Science Sensors & Actuators. The University of Wollongong also sent the results to another international science conference in Beijing in May.

Nhat Nam graduated with honors in aeronautics engineering from Ho Chi Minh City Polytechnic University, and was accepted by three universities in Australia.

In 2005, he graduated with a master's degree in fine mechanics from the Wollongong University, the world's top ten polymer research laboratory. That is where the birth of his robot.

Male plans to continue to build robotic hands with multiple fingers or fingers that burn more to better manipulate objects, then set up a model to control the robot completely automatically.
