Abstract

Robotics and 3D printing pave the way for future methodologies in many industries, but they can also be used for original artistic projects, including technological challenges. Imagine a film studio smaller than the size of your finger, an actor whose height is smaller than the thickness of your fingernail, and a camera using electrons instead of photons: these are the ingredients of the innovative film Stardust Odyssey . Several years of development were necessary to propose highprecision miniaturized robots able to position 3D-printed microfigurines in a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) to produce the film, which was released on 27 November 2019. This original film is available online [1]-[3]. The film, which pays tribute to David Bowie, holds the Guinness world record for the smallest 3D stop-motion animation character in the world [5].
