The term "robot-assisted micro-assembly" comes from the fields of Industry and Factory 4.0, automation and robots. This involves assembling tiny components with the help of robots. Such precise work would often be too difficult or too time-consuming for humans.
In robot-assisted micro-assembly, specialised robots take on the task of joining very small components together. This can be found, for example, in the manufacture of smartphones, medical devices or watches, where each individual part is often only a few millimetres in size. Here, robots can work much faster and more accurately than humans.
An illustrative example: In the production of a modern hearing aid, tiny electronic components and wires have to be joined together precisely. A human would need a magnifying glass and steady hands to do this, but a robot arm with fine grippers and sensors performs this task automatically and with consistent quality.
Robot-assisted micro-assembly saves time and costs, reduces the risk of errors and makes it possible to manufacture even smaller and more efficient technical products. This makes them indispensable in many high-tech industries today.
