About
Remco J. Wiegerink is a leading figure in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), pioneering bio-inspired sensors and micro-propulsion technologies. His most impactful work centers on developing artificial lateral-line systems, mimicking the flow-sensing organs of fish to create biomimetic hair flow sensors. His 2013 paper on imaging dipole flow sources, with 57 citations, demonstrates how these sensor arrays can localize objects in fluid flows, offering transformative potential for underwater robotics and navigation. Wiegerink’s contributions extend to high-resolution flow cameras for 3D hydrodynamic reconstruction, as well as a large-range multi-axis capacitive force/torque sensor realized on a single SOI wafer, enabling precise biomechanical and robotic applications. Notably, he leads the PRECISE project, developing a MEMS-based monopropellant micro Chemical Propulsion System for highly accurate satellite attitude control, enabling advanced missions like formation flying. With a career blending fundamental biomimicry with practical MEMS engineering, Wiegerink’s work—cited across robotics, aerospace, and sensor design—positions him as a key innovator in creating intelligent, flow-aware systems for the next generation of autonomous machines.
