Our research on microsystems aims at exploring the interface of macro- and micro- world in order to increase the degrees of freedom in the design of innovative biomedical robotic tools.
Current research efforts are aimed at developing:
- design techniques based on multi-domain and multi-physics analyses and simulations;
- miniature sensors for biorobotics, with application to minimally invasive surgery and prosthetics;
- novel actuators based on (electro)chemical phenomena;
- microfluidic platforms for the biosciences and drug-delivery;
- technologies for the development of novel invasive neural interfaces, with special focus on electrodes coating techniques;
- energy harvesters for improving the autonomy of fully implanted active devices.
