Video of four stress-engineered microrobots assembling a planar structure, recorded through an optical microscope. The dimensions of each robot are 260 x 60 x 10 micrometers, and the dimensions of the final assembled shape are (approximately) 260 x 240 x 10 micrometers. The assembly is performed entirely within a 2 mm squared area. Compliance, as well a motion planning control strategy are used to ensure high docking accuracy. All robots are controlled using a single global control signal, provided through the operating environment.
