Untethered Flight of a 270 mg Microrobot Powered by Onboard Energy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
It is challenging for microrobots to fly using onboard energy due to the relatively heavy power supplies and inefficient actuators that are limited to a small size (mass less than 1000 mg and wingspan less than 100 mm).
