Abstract

This paper addresses one of the important topics in micro assembly-the micro operation modeling-which is essential for planning of micro assembly. The modeling method combines constraint based rigid body modeling method and micro domain forces. A model for manipulating spherical micro objects is presented here as an application of the method. Simulation results of pushing operation are presented. The modeling method is applicable to more complicated objects and can be used as a part of a virtual environment
