Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on robotics in micro-manufacturing and micro-robotics. First, an introduction to robotics is made, so as to provide a clear differentiation between three different type-scales of robots: macro-robots, micro-robots and nano-robots. MEMS (micro-electric-mechanical systems) are also commented upon, as they are closely related to micro-robots. This chapter deals into two main micro-robotics applications: micro-assembly and micro-handling. In general, assembly applications are very well known in the robotic macro-world, as they are spread over numerous industrial applications, but these applications are completely different and relatively unknown when referring to the micro-scale. The second main application for micro-robotics is in micro-manipulation or micro-handling. Micro-manipulation consists basically in moving a micro-component from one location to another. To achieve this task, the end-effector plays an important role as it has the task of physically picking up and releasing the micro-part.
