A nanorobot module with a measurement device for the measurement of spatial surface properties with a measurement range in the centimetre range and a resolution in the nanometre range, that can be arranged in a vacuum chamber, for example the vacuum chamber of a microscope. Along with this integration of the nanorobot module into a vacuum chamber, the disclosure further relates to the automation of the module in the chamber system, in particular the connection of the controller of the nanorobot system and the chamber system by the provision of an interface between both systems. Finally, the disclosure relates to a mechatronic exchange adapter for the flexible securing of nanorobot modules within a vacuum chamber, in particular the disclosure relates to an exchange adapter, which preferably in one process electrically connects a nanorobot module and mechanically secures it so that it is guided with high precision and without play.
A nanorobot module for the measurement of surface properties, with a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range.
The nanorobot module according to claim 6, wherein the position sensors have a resolution in the nanometer range.
A system with a vacuum chamber in which a nanorobot module comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range is arranged, wherein the vacuum chamber has a free interior volume with an edge length less than 60 cm, preferably less than 30 cm.
A method for using a nanorobot module comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range, said method comprising interrupting the touching or non-touching contact between measurement probe and sample during a measurement.
An exchange adapter for exchanging nanorobot modules comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range, wherein said exchange adapter has an electrical connector system with a plug and a socket, and a mechanical fastening unit with a mechanical guide and a carriage.
A method with an exchange adapter for exchanging nanorobot modules comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range, wherein said exchange adapter has an electrical connector system with a plug and a socket, and a mechanical fastening unit with a mechanical guide and a carriage, said method comprising:
A system with an exchange adapter for exchanging nanorobot modules comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range, wherein said exchange adapter has an electrical connector system with a plug and a socket, and a mechanical fastening unit with a mechanical guide and a carriage and with an additional basic part of this exchange device with a guide and socket, said system comprising at least one cable harness, at least one set of electronics and a vacuum chamber, wherein the nanorobot module with connector that is secured on the carriage and electrically connected can be connected to both basic parts.
A system with an exchange adapter for exchanging nanorobot modules comprising a drive device, wherein it has a measurement unit with a measurement probe with a resolution in the nanometer range and a measurement range in the centimeter range, wherein said exchange adapter has an electrical connector system with a plug and a socket, and a mechanical fastening unit with a mechanical guide and a carriage, wherein said a nanorobot module comprises an end effector, at least one cable harness, one set of electronics and a vacuum chamber, wherein the exchange adapter is arranged between the nanorobot module and the end effector.
