Autonomous Nano-stepping Tool System (ANTS) represents a paradigm shift for measurement and manipulation at the micro/nano scale. ANTS combines low-cost fabrication techniques with a high-degree of subsystem integration to deliver an inexpensive tool that has an unlimited workspace. With ANTS, we seek to invert the existing notion that specimens should be delivered to stationary bench-top instruments.
