Abstract

The following article presents two approaches for the observation and control of assembly processes for hybrid micro systems. To meet the demands of a production of huge quantities of pieces, the control of the assembly of a micro mixing by image processing is presented. Finally a flexible fiber based sensor for handling devices is presented.
