Abstract

A system and method which provide a gripping mechanism and a complementary 'handle', which enable a microcomponent to be grasped with the gripping mechanism are disclosed. A preferred embodiment provides a gripper and a complementary handle, which is implemented on a microcomponent to be grasped, to enable the gripper to effectively grasp the microcomponent by grasping the complementary handle implemented for such component. A preferred embodiment provides a gripper and a complementary handle that is implemented on a microcomponent to enable the microcomponent to be accurately picked-and-placed with the gripper. The complementary handle may be an integrated part of the microcomponent to be grasped, or the handle may be a separate component that is capable of being permanently or temporarily coupled to a microcomponent. Most preferably, the gripper and complementary handle may be implemented to constrain all six degrees of freedom, both translational and rotational, of a grasped handle relative to the gripper.
