A micro manipulation platform consisting of several cm3-sized 4 DOF micro robots has been developed by EPFL. This paper discusses four different strategies for grasping, transferring and releasing a micro object by manipulation by adhesion. The strategies have been experimentally verified by the manipulation of Ã40 ¹m pollen micro spheres with the developed micro robots.
