Abstract
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.
