Abstract
This work has been set out to improve poor accuracy and repeatability of passive-release by considering angle of a mechanical pickup approach between the endeffctors and a single micro-object. Due to strong adhesion force in microworld, the accurate and repeatable pick-and-release/place for micro-objects are required as a long-standing challenge in micro-manipulation. Moreover, due to nallow depth-of-field, microscopic 3Destimation is difficult. Thus, the system employs our developed depth estimation method on the microscope. The experimental results show the performance of the proposed pickup-and-place method.
