About

Manuel Mikczinski is a pioneering researcher in the field of automated micro- and nanorobotics, with a focused expertise in robot-based nanohandling and manipulation within scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). His work addresses one of the most critical bottlenecks in nanotechnology: the lack of reliable sensor feedback for precise, repeatable movements from the macro- down to the nanoscale. By developing strategies to automate nanomanipulation inside SEMs, Mikczinski has advanced the integration of nano-objects into functional systems, tackling the challenge that conventional macroscopic handling and gripper-based approaches cannot be directly scaled down. His key contributions include frameworks for automated micro- and nanohandling that leverage visual feedback and robotic control to overcome the limitations of existing sensors. Though his most-cited works—such as “Towards automated robot-based nanohandling” (2009) and “Automated Micro‐ and Nanohandling Inside the Scanning Electron Microscope” (2015)—each have 2 citations, their impact lies in laying foundational concepts for a niche but critical field. Mikczinski’s research is essential reading for students and engineers seeking to bridge the gap between macro-robotics and the nanoscale, offering practical pathways toward seamless automation in nanotechnology.
