Robotique biomédicale Interfaces haptiques Robotique et instruments chirurgicaux Mécatronique

Mission

Le Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotiques (LSRO) est une unité de recherche pluridisciplinaire en micro-robotique et robotique médicale. Les activités sont centrées autour du contrôle de position à très haute précision et de l'interface haptique en instrumentation médicale. Une de nos spécialités est l'instrumentation (haptique) compatible avec l'Imagerie à résonance magnétique ainsi que les systèmes de positionnement de très haute précision (sustentation diamagnétique sans contact ou sur articulations flexibles). Des applications se trouvent dans l'instrumentation astronomique ou dans la microstructuration 3-D de verre par étincelage électrochimique.
Originaire de Zollikon (ZH), Hannes Bleuler est né en 1954 au Maroc où il passa son enfance. Après la maturité latine a Zürich, il entre au Département d'électricité à l'ETHZ. Il obtient son diplôme en automatique, en 1978, et entre en fonction comme assistant à l'Institut de mécanique de la même école.
Il y participe à l'établissement du groupe de mécatronique et obtient son doctorat dans le domaine des paliers magnétiques actifs, activité qui mène à la fondation d'une compagnie avec des collègues et à un premier séjour de deux ans chez Hitachi au Japon.
De 1991 à 1995, il est d'abord Toshiba Professor of Intelligent Mechatronics à l'institut des sciences industrielles de l'Université de Tokyo et ensuite professeur associé régulier au département de microtechnique à cette même université.
Il y travaille en microtechnique (instrumentation) et robotique. A l'EPFL, ses activités se concentrent sur la robotique biomédicale et l'interface homme-machine (interfaces haptiques) et l'entraînement et la simulation de chirurgie. Il est directeur de la section microtechnique 2008-2009. Il anime les relations et les échanges entre l'EPFL et le Japon sur tous les niveaux et donne un cours (2010) sur l'histoire des sciences au Japon dans le cadre du Collège des Humanités.
