Between 1995 and 2007 I worked at CSEM where I managed and executed several high-precision mechatronics projects for astrophysics et space applications. A few are outlined hereafter.
High-precision hexapods
- Hexapod mechanisms for astronomical telescopes: VLTI ATS, VISTA
ESO ATS M2 hexapod
High-precision other parallel mechanisms
- EMIR-GTC detector translation unit
Tip-tilt and chopping mechanisms
- Secondary mirror unit of the SOFIA airborne astronomical 2-m telescope
- Secondary mirror mechanism for the GRANTECAN 10.8-m astronomical telescope
Space robotics
- End-effector design for the EUROBOT (ESA) space robot
Active vibration reduction systems
SOFIA M2 Assembly
Cryogenic (80K) gripper
GTC M2 Drive
EMIR DTU
