Abstract

Standardized systems for feeding, gripping, and joining are needed to realize the potential of microsystem and nano‐system technology. This paper describes many several systems that are operating in this area and the applications for the new technology and the parts that can currently be manufactured. These include miniature pneumatic valves, matchstick sized motors and fluidic pumps.
