Topic description
Cette thèse de doctorat vise à développer une nouvelle génération de microrobots souples pour relever les grands défis de la santé et de la fabrication avancée. Elle exploite des technologies de pointe telles que l'impression 4D et la stéréolithographie à deux photons pour créer des microrobots 3D intelligents et réactifs. Ces microrobots photoactivés, intégrés à l'extrémité de fibres optiques, permettront une actionnement précis et à plusieurs degrés de liberté dans des espaces extrêmement restreints. Le doctorant recruté participera activement au nouveau réseau national de recherche en robotique miniature (PEPR Miniro, 2025-2032) et aura un accès complet aux équipements et installations, notamment ceux du CMNR (Centre de micro et nano robotique – Infrastructure nationale pour la recherche de pointe en robotique) et de la plateforme technologique de salles blanches Mimento (Réseau national des grands pôles technologiques pour la recherche fondamentale).

This PhD thesis aims to develop a new generation of soft microrobots to address major challenges in healthcare and advanced manufacturing. It leverages cutting-edge technologies such as 4D printing and two-photon stereolithography to create smart, responsive 3D microrobots. These light-activated microrobots, integrated at the tip of optical fibers, will enable precise, multi-degree-of-freedom actuation in extremely confined spaces. The hired PhD student will actively participate in the newly launched national research network in miniature robotics (PEPR Miniro 'miniature robotics', 2025-2032) and will have full access to equipements and facilities notably provided by the CMNR (Center for Micro and Nano Robotics – National infrastructure for cutting-edge robotics research) and the Mimento clean-room technological facility (National network of major technology hubs for Basic Technological Research).
