He’ll hold up a flower and say ”look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree. Then he says ”I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimetre; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colours in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the colour. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.” Richard Feynman, BBC Interview, 1981 v This thesis is dedicated to my wife, Marina, who has not only been a constant support, but has put my well being above hers, has put her life on hold and has helped me improve. Without her, pushing through would have been an impossible feat.

There are a number of advantages that miniaturization brings, such as increase in performances, reduction of energy requirements, low costs due to their batch fabrication, storage, transport and the ability to integrate several functions in small volumes. This has lead to the development of specific technologies aimed to the design, fab- rication and integration of special systems that incorporate mechanical, electrical and even optical features. Initially Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) started being developed, focusing on the integration of, what are now called, smart materials, due to their capability to react to environment changes and giving a measurable reaction (temperature variations, electrical current intensity or potential etc.). After decades of research and development, optical capabilities have been added, thus creating Micro- Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS). They have aided in the implementation of optical data communication, increasing speeds by using optical routers and optical stor- age mediums. They have also helped the development of new imaging technologies like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and measurement tools like microspectrometers, laser vibrometers or interferometers. With newer materials being developed, these sys- tems too have been reduced in size, a trend that is still followed today. This trend has also been helped by the development of micro-fabrication tools and the reduction in size of complex systems. The use of smart materials also allowed for the micro-assembly tools used to gain in dexterity while reducing their overall complexity. This is the case of microgrippers. The fabrication of MOEMS using an approach combining advanced micro- fabrication and robotic micro-assembly techniques has been presented in several works [Bargiel et al., 2010, Dechev et al., 2004, Das et al., 2012] and has shown its effective- ness in the fabrication of complex, out-of-plane MOEMS structures.
