About
Ivan Tchouatat Kepseu is a researcher at the forefront of robotic micro-manipulation, specializing in the complex interplay between adhesion forces and dexterous control at the microscale. His work addresses a critical challenge: while capillary and electrostatic forces dominate at this scale, most manipulation strategies either ignore them or are confined to simple planar movements. Kepseu’s major contribution lies in pioneering path planning algorithms for true 3-D in-hand dexterous micro-manipulation that explicitly account for these disruptive adhesion forces. His 2022 paper on this topic, which has garnered 3 citations, lays the groundwork for more reliable and precise handling of micro-objects—a capability essential for advancing fields like micro-assembly, cell manipulation, and lab-on-a-chip technologies. By bridging the gap between theoretical force models and practical robotic control, Kepseu is enabling a new class of micro-robotic systems capable of complex, three-dimensional tasks that were previously unattainable. His work represents a significant step toward fully autonomous, force-aware manipulation at the microscale.
