To assemble easily damaged micro-parts safely in interference fit way, the assembly process is designed and the interaction force in assembly process is analyzed. The pose of micro-parts is aligned based on calibration of three microscopic vision systems from different directions. In addition, a control strategy based on feedback of vision and force is proposed to assemble safely. In the case of two micro-parts just contact, position of micro-part is adjusted based on force information to compensate pose alignment error and keep force in safe range. When micro-part is deformed as increased contact force, position of micro-part is adjusted based on force in the interference fit process and deformation of micro-part. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
