Handling and assembly of hybrid microsystems has a strongly multidisciplinary nature, requiring a large number of technologies and tools. For tasks relating to microsystem technology alone, it is necessary to integrate expertise in the field of MEMS design, devices for high-resolution positioning and micro-actuators for gripping systems, etc. In addition, many other scientific and technical fields are also involved: material physics (for optimising tool/component interaction and reducing adverse adhesive effects), laser technology (for joining processes, curing glue, etc.), advanced control theory (including artificial intelligence control techniques and visual pattern recognition), and many others An adequate training system for preparing researchers to work in this field must not only integrate all scientific and technical disciplines involved, such as mechanics, control theory, material physics, electronics and micro-systems design, but also provide an industrial perspective and additional skills. The European Research Training Network "Advanced Methods and Tools for Handling and Assembly in Microtechnology ASSEMIC" addresses this need at the European scale, offering an advanced training scheme for early-stage and experienced researchers within an ambitious collaborative research project.
