Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Dynamic Modeling of Stick-Slip Motion in a Legged, Piezoelectric Driven Microrobot

open access: yes, 2010
The motion of a stick-slip microrobot propelled by its piezoelectric unimorph legs is mathematically modeled. Using a continuously distributed mass model for the robot's body, the working equation of the mechanism is derived based on the assumption of ...

Miniaturized Rotary Actuators Using Shape Memory Alloy for Insect-Type MEMS Microrobot

open access: yesMicromachines, 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]

open access: yes2015 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.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

A Two-Dimensional Manipulation Method for a Magnetic Microrobot with a Large Region of Interest Using a Triad of Electromagnetic Coils

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
This paper proposes an effective method to manipulate the 2D motions of a magnetic small-scale robot (microrobot) within a relatively large working area using a triad of electromagnetic coils (TEC).

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Three-Dimensional Position Measurement of a Microrobot [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Many microrobots with various types of sensors and actuators have been developed. We propose three-dimensional position measurement of a microrobot using position sensitive detectors (PSDs), since its dimension is suitable for the microrobot.

LLM‐Integrated Human–Robot Interaction System for Microrobots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This paper proposes an LLM‐based control framework for guiding microrobots using human natural language. This framework can convert the natural human speech into safe and executable command sets for reliable navigation in complex environments. The experimental results show high accuracy and robustness in task performance, demonstrating the potential of
