Miniaturised Cooperative Robots Advancing Towards the Nano Range
The MiCRoN project was awarded on 8 March 2002 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 5th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the Miniman project.
Miniman
The MINIMAN project concerns the development of a smart microrobot with five degrees of freedom and a size of few centimetres squared
MiCRoN
Microscopes have very limited depth-of-focus. This imposes a variety of constraints when building imaging and vision solutions for microscopes. The MMVL vision software for the MiCRoN-project uses a geometric hashing technique to compare all images in an image stack with the scene
