Exploiting Liquid Surface Tension in Microrobotics

open access: yesAnnual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems, 2023
International audienceSurface tension effects are known to be dominant at the submillimeter scale. Within this context, the literature has extensively described the underlying physics (e.g., surface tension, wetting, surface texturation, and coatings ...

A Survey on Swarm Microrobotics

IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2022
The small size and wireless actuation of microrobots make them potential candidates for minimally invasive medicine. To advance microrobots to future clinical application, microrobotics researchers have investigated a number of key issues, in which swarm control is a primary challenge and is attracting increasing attention.

Mobile microrobots

Robotica, 1996
SUMMARYThis paper discusses suitable mechanisms and functions of a mobile microrobot from the point of view ofscale effects. Several assumptions are made using animalscaling. A large scale model is shown to demonstrate these mechanisms. Moreover, microsized models have been built on silicon wafers by using polysilicon as rigidplates and polyimide as ...

Design of a cricket microrobot

Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002
Our goal is to develop an autonomous robot that will fit within a two-inch cube and will provide locomotion by walking and jumping. The robot is based-on the kinematics of a cricket. It is actuated by braided pneumatic actuators with compressed air provided by an on-board compressor. The air can be distributed by an array of actuated MEMS valves.

Scaling in microrobots

Proceedings 1995 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Human Robot Interaction and Cooperative Robots, 2002
This paper discusses suitable mechanisms and functions of a microrobot from the point of view of scale effects. Several assumptions are made using animal scaling. The results show that suitable mechanisms and functions may be different from those of a conventional robot.

A microrobotic system for colonoscopy

Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
Colonoscopy is an important procedure for the diagnosis of various pathologies, in particular cancer of the colon and of the rectum, the second most malignant tumor in industrialized countries. At present however, colonoscopy is a procedure often painful for the patient and complex for the doctor.
