Dermas MOFFO : "Positioning for smart MEMS systems"

Abstract :

For this thesis, we propose positioning solutions for microsystems and microrobot systems communicating by contact. The Microrobots Mems on which our work is focused are microsystems ranging in size from micrometer to millimeters, with very low computing capacity, storage, communicating by contact and whose communication is limited to elements in direct contact. In this work, we propose a modeling for the positioning of microrobots Mems. Based on this modeling, we proposed a sequential positioning algorithm for Mems systems. It is a centralized sequential algorithm that deals with the mixed positioning (both relative and absolute) in 2D and 3D without mobility and that also allows to determine the orientation of the microrobot Mems. We then proposed a distributed positioning algorithm for ultra-dense Mems systems. This distributed algorithm is based on the exchanges between the different microrobot Mems to propagate the information used for the positioning.
