About
Gwenn Ulliac is a leading researcher in the field of micro-robotics, with a primary focus on the design, fabrication, and actuation of soft and reconfigurable micro-scale systems. Their major contributions lie in advancing two-photon polymerization (2PP) technology to create complex, multi-material structures that enable novel functionalities. Ulliac’s most impactful work, “Remotely Actuated Optothermal Robotic Microjoints Based on Spiral Bimaterial Design” (2022, 18 citations), introduces laser-actuated microjoints capable of remote operation in both air and water, leveraging a spiral bimaterial design for optothermal response. This innovation is pivotal for untethered micro-robotics. Additionally, their research on “Micro-scale Electrostatic Attach-detach Device for Self-reconfigurable Modular Robotic System” (2020, 6 citations) proposes a foundational component for programmable matter, enabling tiny agents to adhere and form arbitrary shapes. Ulliac’s forward-looking work, “Towards bi-material 3D printed soft microrobots using two-photon polymerisation” (2025, 3 citations), underscores their ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of 3D printing for soft robotics. Their achievements demonstrate a unique ability to merge materials science, optics, and robotics, creating practical solutions for micro-scale manipulation and assembly.
