Video de présentationMicromechatronics research thematics aims at designing and developing of innovative micromechatronic and microrobtics devices. Performances (forces, displacement, resolution, dynamics, accuracy...), control, microfabrication and environment constrainst are the main criteria taken into account to achieve this goal.

Digital Microrobotics (pdf)
Design, modelling, microfabrication and control of microrobots based on the use of mechanical bistable modules.

Smart Material Systems modeling for micro-actuators design and control
This activity concerns the development of physically based models for smart materials systems. These models serve as tools to design efficient structures and control for new innovative micro-actuators and micro-mechatronic devices.

Design, assembly and characterization of micro-optical benches
Micro-assembly opens a new alternative to fabricate M(O)EMS products through complex, 3D and out of plane and cost effective integration. These works aims at designing, fabricating and characterizing such new kinds of MOEMS...

Smart surfaces for MEMS feeding
The Smart Surface project combines systems microtechnology, control theory and computer science to create active surfaces able to manipulate, to convey, and to sort millimeter scale objects.

Calibration of microrobots
Calibration of microrobots consists in improving microrobots performances through determining real values of their kinematic and dynamic parmaters taking into account microscale specificities...
