About
Nadine Piat is a leading figure in microrobotics, whose pioneering work has fundamentally advanced the manipulation and imaging of objects at the microscale. Her research focuses on the critical intersection of robotic microassembly, computer vision, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) technology. Piat’s major contributions lie in solving the unique challenges of operating in the microscopic world, where traditional sensors fail. She has developed novel methods for full 3D rotation estimation and depth estimation from focus within SEMs, enabling precise robotic micromanipulation of components like MEMS devices. Her work on autofocus for moving objects and fast calibration of global drift in SEMs addresses core instabilities in image acquisition, directly improving the reliability of microassembly processes. With her most-cited paper, "Robotic microassembly and micromanipulation at FEMTO-ST," garnering 80 citations, Piat’s research has provided foundational techniques that allow robots to see and interact with the invisible, making her a key innovator in the field of micro- and nanomanipulation.
