Abstract

Micro-automation systems that operate through magnetic levitation of a micromanipulator are discussed. Applications of such systems include positioning, probing, and quality control tasks. Tools used in the design of magnetic levitation-based micro-automation systems and results obtained from demonstration systems are given. A review of work in progress is included.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
