An intelligent diagnosis system for a power module. The system includes a power module, a hardware checking module and a diagnostic module. The power module has a temperature sensing element for obtaining a temperature difference between a starting minimum temperature and a current temperature. The hardware checking module has a current sensing element, a voltage sensing element and a magnetic coupling closed loop detection element for obtaining the current, the output voltage and the input voltage of the power module, and the hardware loop status, respectively. The diagnostic module calculates the number of cycles that have been operated, a measured impedance and an instantaneous power based on those measurement results, and calculating a risk index based on the number of cycles that have been operated, the temperature difference, the measured impedance, the instantaneous power and the hardware loop status, thereby determining the accumulation of the abnormality index record.

A self-assembly apparatus for assembling a plurality of devices with a predetermined aspect ratio is provided. The self-assembly apparatus includes a guiding element, a vibration device, and a magnetic field inducing device. The guiding element has a mesh structure. The vibration device is coupled to the guiding element and configured to vibrate the guiding element. The magnetic field inducing device is disposed below the guiding element and configured to generate a time-varying magnetic field to rotate each of the devices. Through a collective effect of the vibration of the guiding element, the time-varying magnetic field, and the self-gravity of each of the devices, the devices are positioned on a plate between the guiding element and the magnetic field inducing device through the mesh structure.
