About
Yassine Haddab is a pioneering researcher in microrobotics and micromanipulation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the design and control of precision robotic systems at the micro and nanoscale. Based at FEMTO-ST Institute, Haddab has built a distinguished career around the innovative concept of "digital microrobotics," wherein robots achieve highly accurate, repeatable positioning through discrete mechanical states rather than complex control algorithms. His most influential contribution — the development of microrobots based on bistable and multistable modules — has reshaped how researchers approach open-loop micropositioning, eliminating the need for sophisticated feedback systems while maintaining exceptional precision when manipulating submillimetric objects. Haddab's most cited work on robotic microassembly at FEMTO-ST has garnered 80 citations, establishing a benchmark for the field, while his seminal paper on the planar DiMiBo digital microrobot has attracted 31 citations. His research spans MEMS fabrication, additive manufacturing, noise characterization in miniaturized systems, and trajectory planning using hypercube graph representations. More recently, Haddab has extended bistable module concepts into snake-like robots actuated by shape memory alloys for confined-environment exploration. His body of work represents a coherent and impactful research vision bridging theoretical design with practical microfabrication.
