Nano Optoelectronic Sensors and Devices

Preface

Ning Xi

This book presents a comprehensive report on the research on nanosensors and -devices conducted by the researchers in the Robotics and Automation Laboratory at Michigan State University and our collaborators. The Robotics and Automation Laboratory was established after I joined the faculty of Michigan State University in 1997. For the last decade, the research directions of the laboratory have been expanded from traditional industrial robots to nanorobots. After we successfully tested our nanorobotic system for nano manipulations and assembly, we were looking for opportunities to develop nanodevices to demonstrate the capability of our newly developed nanorobotic system. In 2004, I met Dr Harold Szu, US Army Night Vision and Electronic ...
