About

Florent Michel is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, robotics, and precision metrology. His primary research areas include additive manufacturing (AM) and robotic motion control, with a particular focus on enhancing the accuracy and flexibility of robotic systems. Michel’s major contributions are evident in his development of a non-contact laser speckle sensor for measuring robotic tool speed, a novel approach that enables real-time, high-precision feedback without physical contact—critical for improving robotic performance in dynamic tasks. This work has garnered 25 citations, reflecting its relevance to both robotics and sensor communities. Additionally, his research on compensation strategies for robotic motion errors in additive manufacturing addresses a key limitation of robotic AM systems compared to traditional CNC machines. By proposing cost-effective solutions to improve accuracy, Michel has helped advance the viability of robotic AM, which offers greater flexibility and lower costs than CNC. His work is notable for bridging the gap between industrial affordability and precision, making him a valuable contributor to the future of automated manufacturing.
