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 ...

A Survey on Swarm Microrobotics
IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2022The 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.

Design of a cricket microrobot
Proceedings 2000 ICRA. Millennium Conference. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. Symposia Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37065), 2002Our 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.

IEEE Intelligent Systems, 1999
In an effort that may well revolutionize military information gathering in urban environments, a consortium of US organizations is developing a small mobile robot capable of conducting reconnaissance into areas that are either too dangerous for soldiers to enter or are otherwise inaccessible.

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, 2002Colonoscopy 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.

Bacterial microsystems and microrobots
Biomedical Microdevices, 2012Microorganisms and specifically motile bacteria have been recently added to the list of micro-actuators typically considered for the implementation of microsystems and microrobots. Such trend has been motivated by the fact these microorganisms are self-powered actuators with overall sizes at the lower end of the micrometer range and which have proven ...
