Control of adhesion using surface functionalisations for robotic microhandling

Robotic microhandling is a promising way to assemble microcomponents in order to manufacture new generation of Hybrid Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (HMEMS). However, at the scale of several micrometers, adhesion phenomenon highly perturbs the micro-objects release and the positioning. This phenomenon is directly linked to both the object and the gripper surface mechanical and chemical properties. The control of the adhesion properties requires multidisciplinary approaches including roughness control, mechanical properties control and chemical surface functionalisation. We propose to control adhesion by using chemical surface function-alisations by intrinsic conducting polymer electrodeposition or Self-Assembly Monolayer (SAM) and using surface structuration.
