Microhandling activities

Because of the scale effect, physical laws are modified at the microscale. Consequently the thematics Microhandling is focusing on the modeling of the micro-objects behavior in order to propose ad-hoc handling strategies.

vignette fonctionnalisation


Surface fonctionnalisation for microhandling
As surface effects are predominant in the microscale, changing surface properties via chemical fonctionnalisation is one original way to control microhandling tasks...

vignette nanostructure



Surface structuration for microhandling
Nanostructurations which are able to control both the object and the microgripper roughness is an interested way to control adhesion...

vignette DEP


Closed loop control of dielectrophoresis
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) enables to manipulate microcomponents without contact and thus without adhesion. Automatic control of DEP process deals with the study of highly non-linear and high speed systems...

vignette capillaire


Fluidic microactuator based on microbubbles
Capillary and surface tension forces are predominant in the microscale, microbublles can conseiquently be used as microfluidic actuator in order to control original parallel microrobot inside liquid...

vignette modeling



Modeling the interaction between the micro-objects
The design and control of microhandling tasks requires to understand and predict the behavior of the micro-objects drivent by the interaction forces between them...

vignette microrobsensor


Measurement of interaction force between micro-objects
Measurement of interaction between planar micro-object requires high precision positioning and thus high performance in terme of robotic control...

vignette nanorol



Force measurement equipment – NANOROL platform
As the understanding of micro-object behaviour requires several type of measurement, a characterisation platform has been built and is open to external users...

vignette visionassembly



Micro-assembly
Several micro-assembly station have been developped to study and perform teleoperated or automated micro-assembly. Methods based on vision and/or force control are notably under investigation...
