		  diameter introduces several challenges that need not be
		  considered at the macro-scale. First, there are several
		  kinds of sticking effects due to Van der Waals forces and
		  static electricity which complicate hand-off motions and
		  release of a part. Second, the degrees of freedom of
		  micro-manipulators are limited. This paper proposes a pair
		  of manipulation primitives and a complete algorithm that
		  addresses these challenges. We will show that a sequence of
		  these two manipulation primitives can uniquely orient any
		  asymmetric part while maintaining contact without sensing.
		  This allows us to apply the same plan to many (identical)
		  parts simultaneously. For asymmetric parts we can find a
		  plan of length O(n) in O(n) time that orients the part,
		  where n is the number of vertices.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">article</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
