Biography:
Prof. Hannes Bleuler is a Full Professor for the Robotic Systems Laboratory at EPFL. He is also Professor Emeritus of Honorary Professors STI and a Committee Member in Association des Professeurs de l'EPFL. He received his PhD in 1984 at ETH and became a Full Professor at 1995 at EPFL Lausanne on micro-robotics and biomedical robotics.The Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques (LSRO) is a mulitidisiplinary research unit working mostly in the fields of micro-robotics, biomedical robotics, haptics, MRI compatible instrumentation and nanotechnologies. Within the large field of "microrobotics", we are interested in various small mobile robots (Group of Francesco Mondada, robots for education, for inspection in turbines or in the human body, for climbing walls etc.), in high precision motion control and in contact-free and vacuum compatible devices.Project examples include - Haptic mini-invasive surgery simulators (Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, Radiology, Colonoscopy)- fMRI compatible haptic devices- Diamagnetic and contact-free devices for sensors or vacuum compatible actuation- Electrostatic Motor for Cesium Atomic Clock (together with Observatoire de Neuchâtel, Professor Thomann, and METAS-office, Berne)
