A novel visual servoing microassembly system

Xinhan Huang, Shangqin Mao, Min Wang

Abstract: The focus of this paper is the design and development of an automatic system for microassembly. The automatic processing is made possible by (i) the development of a machine vision algorithm to identify the targets and end-effectors, (ii) an uncalibrated visual servoing algorithm to lead the end-effector to grasp the micro-pieces and then assemble the target. The experimental results demonstrate that this prototype microassembly system is effective and practicable for automatic microassembly applications.
