Microrobotics for micromanipulation hardback

Microrobotics is an emerging and booming area with many and various applications: industrial, medical, laboratory instrumentation, etc.Microrobotics for Micromanipulation presents for the first time, in detail, the sector of robotics for handling objects of micrometer dimensions. At these dimensions, the behavior of objects is significantly different from the better known, higher scales, which leads us to implement solutions that are sometimes radically different from those most commonly used.This book details the behavior of objects at the micrometer scale and suitable robotics solutions, in terms of actuators, grippers, manipulators, environmental perception and microtechnology.Corrected exercises are included in the book, enabling engineers, students and researchers to familiarize themselves with this emerging area and to contribute to its development through scientific measures.
