Abstract

This project concerns the development and integration of a sub-millimeter objects manipulation setup and will take part in a CTI project named “Manipulating Microscale Objects with Nanoscale Precision”. On the way of manipulating microscale objects, we need to build a first setup adapted for sub-millimeter objects in order to be able to perform experiences and to validate some assumptions and choices. In the Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques (LSRO), ultra high precision parallel robots are developed and, in particular, the Delta3 a micromanipulator that presents three degrees of freedom (XYZ) and has a range of 4mm. This robot might be used within this project. The goal of this project is to develop an interface between vision system, robot and user that will allow measuring the position repeatability of different microscale objects during a manipulation task.

Manipulation (psychology)

In psychology, manipulation is defined as subterfuge designed to influence or control another, usually in a manner which facilitates one's personal aims. The methods used distort or orient the interlocutor's perception of reality, in particular through seduction, suggestion, persuasion and non-voluntary or consensual submission. Definitions for the term vary in which behavior is specifically included, influenced by both culture and whether referring to the general population or used in clinical contexts.

Near-death experience

A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound personal experience associated with death or impending death which researchers describe as having similar characteristics. When positive, which the great majority are, such experiences may encompass a variety of sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, joy, the experience of absolute dissolution, review of major life events, the presence of a light, and seeing dead relatives.

Out-of-body experience

An out-of-body experience (OBE or sometimes OOBE) is a phenomenon in which a person perceives the world from a location outside their physical body. An OBE is a form of autoscopy (literally "seeing self"), although this term is more commonly used to refer to the pathological condition of seeing a second self, or doppelgänger. The term out-of-body experience was introduced in 1943 by G. N. M. Tyrrell in his book Apparitions, and was adopted by researchers such as Celia Green, and Robert Monroe, as an alternative to belief-centric labels such as "astral projection" or "spirit walking".
