About
Dominique Dhoutaut is a researcher specializing in nano-wireless communications, MEMS-based modular robotics, and swarm systems simulation. His work sits at a compelling intersection of nanotechnology, networking, and robotics, with a particular focus on enabling communication among microrobots through Terahertz-band graphene nano-antennas — a foundational technology for the emerging Internet of Nano-Things. Dhoutaut's most influential contribution, "Using Nano-wireless Communications in Micro-Robots Applications" (2014, 27 citations), helped pioneer the application of nano-electromagnetic communications to micro-robotic systems, specifically within the Claytronics project's catom architecture. Alongside this, he developed Vouivre, a scalable nano-wireless simulation library that allowed researchers to study large-scale nanonetwork behavior with realistic parameters — a critical tool given the experimental challenges of working at such scales. His 2013 simulation environment paper (15 citations) and 2015 large-scale cooperative map-building study (12 citations) further demonstrated how swarms of MEMS robots could coordinate meaningfully through nanowireless links. Spanning over a decade of consistent output, from detailed parameter studies to scalable simulation frameworks, Dhoutaut's research has provided both theoretical grounding and practical tools for one of computing's most ambitious frontiers: programmable matter through communicating microrobots.
