MICRON: Small Autonomous Robot for Cell Manipulation Applications

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

Manipulating in the micro- or even nano world still poses a great challenge to robotics. Conventional (stationary) systems suffer from drawbacks regarding integration into process supervision and multi-robot approaches, which become highly relevant to figh ...

Toward Micro Wall-Climbing Robots Using Biomimetic Fibrillar Adhesives

Roland Siegwart, Fabien Tâche, Gilles Caprari

Climbing is a challenging task for autonomous mobile robots primarily due to requirements for agile locomotion, and high maneuverability as well as robust and efficient attachment and detachment. A novel miniature wall-climbing robot is proposed. The robot ...

Bio-inspired Indoor Microflyers

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

There are not yet fully autonomous flying robots capable of maneuvering in small cluttered environments as insects do. The substantial weight and energy constraints typically encountered in this kind of robotic applications preclude the use of powerful pro ...

Micro manipulation by adhesion with two collaborating mobile micro robots

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

A micro manipulation platform consisting of two cubic centimeter sized micro robots each with four degrees of freedom has been developed. This paper discusses four different strategies of manipulation by adhesion for grasping, transferring and releasing a ...

“Pocket Factory”: Concept of miniaturized modular cleanrooms

Reymond Clavel, Irène Verettas

The manipulation and assembly of microsystems (MEMS) require accurate robots operating in a clean room environment. Available systems are bulky, thus requiring large ground surface for small components. Furthermore they have limited accuracy. The main obje ...

Semiparametric Latent Factor Models

Matthias Seeger

We propose a semiparametric model for regression problems involving multiple response variables. The model makes use of a set of Gaussian processes that are linearly mixed to capture dependencies that may exist among the response variables. We propose an e ...

The embodiment of cockroach behaviour in a micro-robot

Masoud Asadpour, Simon Garnier

Autonomous robots may some day be able to behave like an animal, be accepted by the animal as a conspecific and influence the individual as well as the collective behaviour of the animal and its conspecifics. With this objective in mind we report here the ...

InsBot: Design of an Autonomous Mini Mobile Robot Able to Interact with Cockroaches

Roland Siegwart, Gilles Caprari

This paper presents general ideas on design and implementation of robots to be used together with groups of animals. This work is part of the European project LEURRE aiming to study, model and control mixed societies of animals and robots. After a short pr ...

PID vs LQ Control Techniques Applied to an Indoor Micro Quadrotor

Roland Siegwart

The development of miniature flying robots has become a reachable dream thanks to the new sensing and actuating technologies. Micro VTOL1 systems represent a useful class of flying robots because of their strong abilities for small-area monitoring and buil ...
