Micromanipulation Using a Microassembly Workstation with Vision and Force Sensing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports our ongoing work on a microassembly workstation developed for efficient and robust 3D automated assembly of microobjects. The workstation consists of multiple view imaging system, two 3-DOF high precision micromanipulators, and a 3-DOF positioning stage with high resolution rotation control, force sensing probe and gripper, and the control software system. A hybrid control scheme using both vision and force sensory information is proposed for precise and dexterous manipulation of microobjects. A micromanipulation experiment that aims to locate the microspheres to the predefined configuration by using an integrated vision and force control scheme is successfully demonstrated to show the validity of the proposed methods.

This chapter aims to develop a self-sensing technique to measure the displacement and the force in piezoelectric microactuators dedicated to micromanipulation and microassembly contexts. In order to answer the requirements in these contexts, the developed self-sensing should perform a long duration measurement of constant signals (displacement and force) as well as a high precision. Furthermore...

متن کاملFusing Force and Vision Feedback for Micromanipulation
In this paper we present experimental results that investigate the integration of two disparate sensing modalities, force and vision, for sensor-based microassembly. By integrating these sensing modes, we are able to provide feedback in a task-oriented frame of reference over a broad range of motion with an extremely high precision. An optical microscope is used to provide visual feedback down ...
