Abstract
A wide range of micro-components can today be produced using various micro-fabrication techniques. The efficient high volume assembly of complex micro-systems consisting of vast single components (i.e., hybrid micro-systems) is, however, a difficult task that is seen to be a real challenge for the robotic research community. It is necessary to conceive flexible, highly precise and fast micro-assembly methods. In this paper, a frame of a micro-assembly system in the form of flexible micro-assembly line and its autonomous control is presented. Implementation of the control system are described and the procedure of autonomous control is described as well.
