Together, these three parts feature eight chapters contributed by
eight different authors. The authors, internationally recognized experts
in the field of robotic microassembly, represent research laboratories
in Asia, Europe, and North America. As a result, readers get a
remarkable perspective on different approaches to robotic microassembly
from around the world. Examples provided throughout the chapters help
readers better understand how these different approaches work in
practice. References at the end of each chapter lead to the primary
literature for further investigation of individual topics.
Robotic microassembly offers a new, improved way to manufacture
high-performance microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Therefore, any
professional or student involved in microrobotics, micromechatronics,
self-assembly or MEMS will find plenty of novel ideas and methods in
this book that set the stage for new approaches to design and build the
next generation of MEMS and microproducts.
