This paper provides a review of techniques and technology relevant to the field of micro-devices assembly (MDA). MDA is an emerging domain of importance which is expected to have a substantial impact on a range of industrial fields including sensors, surveillance devices, and semiconductor devices. This paper provides a review of a cross-section of research including micro-gripping design and manipulation techniques, work cell design and factory automation, selfassembly techniques, and virtual reality-based approaches in micro-assembly. A discussion of the key challenges for this domain along with directions for future research is also provided.

“…Several types of microgrippers are developed in the past decade using different types of actuating principles like Electrostatic microgripper [1]- [2], Electrothermal microgripper [3]- [4], Shape memory alloy actuated microgripper [5]- [7], Piezoelectric based microgripper [8]- [10]. Piezoelectric materials have large operating bandwidth and can produce large mechanical forces in a compact design which makes it more feasible and befitting solution for the microgripper actuators.…”

For maintenance microrobots for small diameter pipes in power plants and so on, a novel microgripper using divided-electrode type flexible electro-rheological valves (DE-FERVs) was proposed and developed. Each bendable finger consisted of the DE-FERV and a hydraulic rubber actuator and was several millimeters long. The DE-FERV had an axially divided parallel plate electrode pairs in a flexible tube. Each parallel plate electrode pair controlled the electro-rheological fluid (ERF) flow by changing the viscosity with the electric field. The DE-FERV had both high flexibility and sufficient pressure control range. The hydraulic rubber actuator had plural integrated walls inside to restrict its radial expansion and axially extended by the inner pressure controlled by the DE-FERV. A finger large model was fabricated and experimentally characterized. Then, a gripper having two fingers was constructed and the object handling was demonstrated.
