Many popular micropumps implement moving parts that presents serious drawbacks. This is one of the reasons for the growing interest in valveless micropumps. Pumps exploiting AC electric fields are investigated here. Theoretical results are recalled and the ...
Grégory Savioz is working in collaboration with Logitech. The goal of his work is to develop a "haptique" keyboard. A functional prototype of one key was already realized. Till now a hall sensor was used to measure the position of the key. The prototype co ...
This paper presents a 3-D finite-element modal analysis to reduce the acoustical power radiated by a brushless permanent-magnet synchronous machines and avoid any resonance phenomena. The method is able to analyze the impact of some design parameters on al ...
Nowadays, more and more electrical motors are being used in mobile applications, such as hybrid cars for the automotive sector or even in aeronautics applications. A typical example is the solar impulse airplane which is propelled with four electrical moto ...
Electromagnetic techniques present definite advantages for Non Destructive Testing such as no need for surface couplant, potential for miniaturization, and fast scanning rates. They suffer, however, from a lack of reliability when crack sizing capabilities ...
In this paper an Iterative Learning Control (ILC) algorithm is proposed for a certain class of Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems whose dynamics change between iterations. Consistency of the algorithm in the presence of stochastic disturbances is shown ...

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with perching capabilities can be used to efficiently place sensors in aloft locations. A major challenge for perching is to build a lightweight mechanism that can be easily mounted on a MAV, allowing it to perch (attach and de ...
This paper introduces a promising technique for detecting the rotor position of a PM motor at standstill. The technique is based on the B-H hysteresis characteristics of the stator iron. Depending on the rotor position, a very particular phenomenon related ...
This paper focuses on the maximization of the torque-to-weight ratio of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) using a topology optimization method. It aims at finding the optimal design that either maximizes the torque for a given weight or minimizes ...
In this paper, we describe how signaling networks and actuation in bacterial cells and biomolecular networks of bacteria can be used to develop an integrated micro-bio-robotic system. SU8 microstructures blotted with swarmer cells of Serratia Marcescens in ...
