About
Fabian Kaegi is a pioneering researcher in micro-robotics, with a focus on piezo-actuated systems for applications in micro-biology and material science. His most-cited work, a 2007 paper with 63 citations, provides a foundational overview of manipulators and micro-robots developed at EPFL’s Laboratoire de Systemes Robotiques (LSRO). In this influential study, Kaegi systematically describes three key working principles—bender, inch-worm, and inertial drives—and illustrates their use through concrete examples, such as manipulating neurons and other biological specimens. This contribution has been instrumental in advancing precise, miniaturized robotic tools for delicate tasks in both life sciences and materials research. By bridging engineering and biology, Kaegi’s work has enabled new experimental capabilities, from single-cell manipulation to micro-assembly. His research continues to inspire innovations in micro-robotic design, emphasizing reliability and versatility. With a career marked by technical depth and interdisciplinary impact, Kaegi remains a key figure in the evolution of piezo-driven micro-systems, helping to shape the future of lab-on-a-chip technologies and automated micro-handling.
