This tutorial aims to provide courses, lectures and practical exercises on advanced control and noise reduction for micromanipulation. The performance of
microbotic tasks in such application requires the achievement of highly severe performances of positioning like very high accuracy, low noise, large bandwidth, ...
The proposed tutorial includes modeling, control and signal measurement/estimation in microrobots, end-effectors, actuated micromanipulators and microgrippers used
in micromanipulation but also in other applications. In order to success the tasks, these modeling, control and measurement/estimation should consider the nonlinearities,
the noise, the vibrations, the uncertainties and the disturbances that typify the actuators, the working environment and the micro-nano-scales in general. Additionally to
these characteristics, the lack of convenient sensors at these scales put additional challenges to the signals estimation and to the controllers design for the systems.
The tutorial provides an introduction to the advanced and recent techniques devoted to control the systems for micromanipulation tasks. Both theoretical and practical aspects are
proposed. For this aim, the tutorial is a full day with the first part devoted to the theory (lectures) and the second part devoted to demonstrations and labs.
Lectures in the morning:
- Yann LE GORREC,
- Philippe LUTZ,
- Mokrane BOUDAOUD,
- Yassine HADDAB,
- and Micky RAKOTONDRABE,
Labs in the afternoon:
- Didace HABINEZA,
- Mokrane BOUDAOUD,
- Philippe LUTZ,
- and Micky RAKOTONDRABE,
The tutorial is intented to Senior researchers, Ph.D students, Post-Doc and engineers working in the micro/nano world in general, especially the ones who have needs in micromanipulation applications.
