Miniaturized Rotary Actuators Using Shape Memory Alloy for Insect-Type MEMS Microrobot
Micromachines, 2016 Although several types of locomotive microrobots have been developed, most of them have difficulty locomoting on uneven surfaces. Thus, we have been focused on microrobots that can locomote using step patterns.

RodBot: A rolling microrobot for micromanipulation [PDF]
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015 We introduce the modelling and control of a rolling microrobot. The microrobot is capable of manipulating micro-objects through the use of a magnetic visual control system. This system consists of a rod-shaped microrobot, a magnetic actuation system and a visual control system.
