What is it about?
This paper presents a computer vision-based method for visually detecting the contact between an end-effector and a target surface under an optical microscope during microrobotic manipulation.

Why is it important?
Without using proximity or force/touch sensors, this method provides a submicrometer detection accuracy and possesses robustness.
Perspectives
The presented contact detection method is applicable to many microrobotic and nanorobotic manipulation scenarios, in which flexible or stiff end-effectors are operated under an optical or electron microscope.
