Processes for the Self-assembly of Micro Parts
نویسندگان
چکیده
The following approach of a fluidic based self-assembly process uses the surface forces for a precise handling and positioning of small devices for a roll-to-roll manufacturing. The surface, on which the device should be positioned, will be functionalized with hydrophile and hydrophobic areas. Thus water droplets can be caught on the hydrophile areas. The devices to be positioned will be placed on these droplets and due to the surface tension moved to their final position. The droplets, a solution of ultrapure water and isopropanol, are evaporating residue-free within seconds [1].

In this paper, we describe a parts-to-substrate self-assembly approach driven by surface tension. To perform assembly, the substrates are prepared with hydrophobic gold patterns as binding sites. The binding sites are activated by adsorption of an alkanethiolate self-assembled monolayer (SAM), while they can be de-activated by electrochemical reductive desorption of the monolayer. Therefore, as...
متن کاملError Recovery by the Use of Sensory Feedback and Reference Measurements for Robotic Assembly
Industrial robots need instrument or parts transport to do which requires coordinate to show the robot’s instrument, parts and body. When investigating the robot location, we are usually interested in measuring its location relative to a reference coordinate system. In this system it is attempted to make the assemble direction smaller by designing the sensor board and making use of an instrumen...

Here we present a new design of a system for stochastic self-assembly and reconfiguration of zero d.o.f. lattice modular robots in the fluid. The Fluidic Stochastic Modular Robotics (FSMR) system is envisioned to serve as a prototype for future sub-millimeter scale implementation with all critical structural parts having analogous counterparts implemented in MEMS. New FSMR features include cont...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly of Flat Micro Components by Capillary Forces and Shape Recognition
This paper summarizes our recent reports on self-assembly of flat micro components based on two major mechanisms: capillary-driven self-assembly and feature-directed self-assembly. The capillary-driven self-assembly is demonstrated in both a liquid environment and an air environment, and high accuracy self-alignment is achieved due to interfacial energy minimization. Working devices such as Lig...
