Teleoperated Microassembly and its Application to Peg-in-Hole Task

This paper presents a scaled teleoperation scheme for 3-D microassembly on the experimental microassembly workcell. A workspace mapping between a master and a slave microrobot system is presented to teleoperatively control the microrobot system for microassembly such as peg-in-hole task. Based on this result, a scaling factor is designed and applied to the teleoperated micromanipulation for peg-in-hole task in a mesoscale. Using 3-D virtual simulator, the workspace of microrobot system, and the working path trajectory for microassembly is visually represented. The proposed method is validated through the execution of 3-D microassembly such as peg-in-hole task on the experimental microassembly workcell. The proposed method in the developed ...
