Fluid-Mediated Stochastic Self-Assembly at Centimetric and Sub-Millimetric Scales: Design, Modeling, and Control

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Felix Stephan Schill, Grégory Mermoud, Bahar Haghighat

Stochastic self-assembly provides promising means for building micro-/nano-structures with a variety of properties and functionalities. Numerous studies have been conducted on the control and modeling of the process in engineered self-assembling systems co ...

Acousto-fluidic system assisting in-liquid self-assembly of microcomponents

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Grégory Mermoud, Helmut Knapp

In this paper, we present the theoretical background, design, fabrication and characterization of a micromachined chamber assisting the fluidic self-assembly of micro-electro-mechanical systems in a bulk liquid. Exploiting bubble-induced acoustic microstre ...

Fluid-mediated parallel self-assembly of polymeric micro-capsules for liquid encapsulation and release

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Massimo Mastrangeli, Cristina Martin Olmos, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Rosario Maurizio Gullo, Loïc Jacot-Descombes, Grégory Mermoud

Fluid-mediated self-assembly is one of the most promising routes for assembling and packaging smart microsystems in a scalable and cost-efficient way. In this work the pairwise fluidic self-assembly of 100 μm-sized SU-8 cylinders is studied with respect to ...

Real-Time Automated Modeling and Control of Self-Assembling Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud, Utkarsh Upadhyay

We present the M3 framework, a formal and generic computational framework for modeling and controlling distributed stochastic systems of purely reactive robots in an automated and real-time fashion. Based on the trajectories of the robots, the framework bu ...

Modeling Self-Assembly Across Scales: The Unifying Perspective of Smart Minimal Particles

Alcherio Martinoli, Massimo Mastrangeli, Grégory Mermoud

A wealth of current research in microengineering aims at fabricating devices of increasing complexity, notably by (self-)assembling elementary components into heterogeneous functional systems. At the same time, a large body of robotic research called swarm ...

Containers assembled in fluid and corresponding production

Jürgen Brugger, Alcherio Martinoli, Cristina Martin Olmos, Grégory Mermoud

A method for fabricating a fluid container, wherein at least two half containers are mated in said fluid to be contained in said container. This method allows the incorporation of prefabricated devices into each half containers as well as the functional co ...

Top-Down vs Bottom-Up Model-Based Methodologies for Distributed Control: A Comparative Experimental Study

Alcherio Martinoli, William Christopher Evans, Grégory Mermoud, Utkarsh Upadhyay

Model-based synthesis of distributed controllers for multi-robot systems is commonly approached in either a top-down or bottom-up fashion. In this paper, we investigate the experimental challenges of both approaches, with a special emphasis on resource-con ...

Aggregation-mediated Collective Perception and Action in a Group of Miniature Robots

Alcherio Martinoli, William Christopher Evans, Grégory Mermoud

We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable cells, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually endowed with reactive controllers and minimalist sensing and actuation capabiliti ...
