Sensing System for Micro- and Micro-assembly

Despite the enormous research efforts in creating new applications with MEMS, the research efforts at the backend such as packaging and assembly are relatively limited. One reason for this is the level of dimculty involved. One fundamental challenge lies in the fact that at micro-scale, micro mechanical structures are fragile and easy to break
