Behaviour-Based Vision-Guided Teleoperated Mems Probestation

The paper focuses on the development of a vision-based control system for a tele-operated MEMS probe station. A prototyping system architecture was designed with a vision-based micromanipulation system for micro-assembly. The primary goal of this micro-assembly probe station is to perform basic and advanced assembly tasks, which can be used in prototyping of MEMS devices. The architecture includes behavior-based programming and feature-based processing through a grammar-based control command specification. The idea is to develop a vision-based feedback control system using the system output which is provided by the camera. Computer vision and robotics are extensively used along with elementary image processing techniques to build this probe station
