Belgium’s Case: A Judicial Enquiry (1916)

Microassembly of MEMS based on micrometric components is one of the most promising approaches to achieve high-performance MEMS. Two approaches are currently developed for microassembly: self-assembly and robotic microassembly. This text presents a complete overview of robotic microassembly, from microworld modeling and handling strategies, to the design of microassembly robotic devices and microassembly methods. The coverage features micromanipulation and microrobotic assembly, including automation, with many examples. This resource presents an objective view of robotic assembly by eight authors based in eight different research institutes involved in micro-assembly worldwide.
