Abstract

Mobile microrobots, which are capable of performing microscopic motions, have become a subject of great interest all over the world. They have the potential to be used for a variety of applications: in industry for assembly of microsystems or for the testing of silicon chips; in medicine for handling biological cells, etc. A new model of an automated micromanipulation station, which includes piezoelectric microrobots is now being built by an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. This paper describes a sensor system and a powerful tailorable computer for controlling the micromanipulation station.
