Design and Testing of Wireless Motion Gauges for Two Collaborative Robot Arms

March 11, 2022
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Jeremy Marvel, Geraldine Cheok
Most existing robot performance evaluation methods focus on single robotic arms performing independent motion tasks. In this paper, a motion gauge is proposed to evaluate the symmetrical coordinated-motion performance between two robotic arms. For this

Cross Sections for Ionization of Mo and Mo+ by Electron Impact

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
D H. Kwon, Y J. Rhee, Yong Sik Kim
Theoretical cross sections for electron-impact ionization of the neutral Mo Atom and Mo+ ion are reported. Both Mo and Mo+ have many metastable levels near the ground level. We calculated ionization cross sections from the ground and two lowest metastable

Electron Impact Total Ionization Cross Sections of CF 4 , C 2 F^6^ and C 3 F^8^

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
H Nishimura, W M. Huo, Yong Sik Kim, M A. Ali
Both theoretical and experimental electron-impact total ionization cross sections of CF 4, C 2F 6 and C 3F 8 are presented. The experimental cross sections have been measured as a function of incident electron energy T from threshold to 3 keV. A parallel

Ionization of W and W+ by Electron Impact

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
D H. Kwon, Y J. Rhee, Yong Sik Kim
Theoretical cross sections for electron-impact ionization of the neutral W atom and W$^+$ ion are reported. The direct ionization cross sections were calculated by using the binary-encounter Bethe (BEB) model and the indirect ionization cross sections

Optical Fiber Fabry-Perot Micro-Displacement Sensor for MEMS In-plane Motion Stage

February 28, 2018
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas Dagalakis, Young-Man Choi
Fabry-Perot interferometer sensors have been widely used in Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) due to high displacement accuracy and immunity to electromagnetic noises, but they are still limited by micro scale measurement range. In this paper, a

Testing of Cementitious Materials Using a Dynamic MEMS Micro Rheometer

May 17, 2016
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Chiara C. Ferraris, Nicos Martys
Incompatibility of cementitious materials with admixtures often requires time consuming testing. Usually, several mixtures need to be prepared either using concrete or paste to determine the optimum high range water reducer dosage (HRWRA) and type. The

Design of a 1 DOF MEMS motion stage for a parallel plane geometry rheometer

December 31, 2015
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas Dagalakis, Chiara C. Ferraris, Svetlana Avramov-Zamurovic1
Rotational rheometers are used to measure paste properties, but the test would take too long to be useful for a quality control (QC) on the job site. In this paper, a new type of rheometer is proposed based on a one degree of freedom (DOF) micro-electro

A 3D PRINTING FLEXURE PRESSURE SENSOR FOR ROBOT IMPACT SAFETY TESTING

October 9, 2015
Author(s)
Hongliang Shi, Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Duan Xuechao
This paper presents a flexure pressure sensor fabricated by means of 3D printing. This sensor combined with a biosimulant artifact from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used to measure the severity of injuries caused in the case of

Design of MEMS vision tracking system based on a micro fiducial marker

August 31, 2015
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Yang Seung Ho, KwangWoong Yang, Nicholas Dagalakis
In this study, a MEMS-based vision tracking system is developed based on micro fiducial markers. The vision tracking system recognizes the predetermined patterns of the micro-scale fiducial markers and calculates the position and rotation of the MEMS

Design of MEMS based three-axis motion stage by incorporating a nested structure

June 5, 2014
Author(s)
Yong Sik Kim, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Satyandra K. Gupta
A new design of three degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) translational motion stage (XYZ-stage) is presented in this paper. This XYZ-stage is based on Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and designed by combining three existing 1-DOF motion stages through a

Microelectromechanical systems based Stewart platform with sub-nano resolution

December 3, 2012
Author(s)
Seung Ho Yang, Yong Sik Kim, Jae M. Yoo, Nicholas G. Dagalakis
Currently difficulties exist in the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the form of Stewart platforms. The macroscale positioning technology, such as universal joints, ball and roller bearings and commercial actuators, used for building

A high-bandwidth electromagnetic MEMS motion stage for scanning applications

August 23, 2012
Author(s)
Young M. Choi, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Jason J. Gorman, Seung Ho Yang, Yong Sik Kim, Jae M. Yoo
This paper presents the design, fabrication and experimental results of an out-of-plane electromagnetic motion stage. The combination of electromagnetic actuation and a flexure-supported platform enables bidirectional motion with high precision as well as
