It is proposed that fundamental changes will be re-quired for automated assembly of precision micro-scale products. We suggest that the time has come to develop a scalable platform technology for microassembly and describe initial steps taken in this direction. WHAT IS A “PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY”? Technologies that are so pervasive that they serve as springboards for other technologies and regarded as essential for progress in multiple fields are often referred to as “platform technologies. ” A platform technology has several characteristics; among them are: a common substrate upon which to build, a uniform set of services upon which to draw, a set of abstractions insulating the user from imple
