Simulation of laminar bimorph piezoelectric microactuators with application in miniaturized robots
Tecnología en Marcha, 2012 In order to implement miniaturized robots different possibilities for electromechanical actuation at the microscale must be evaluated according to their function on the robot, as well as, size, mechanical strength and deformation, resolution, power ...

Design of a Solenoid Actuator with a Magnetic Plunger for Miniaturized Segment Robots
Applied Sciences, 2015 We develop a solenoid actuator with a ferromagnetic plunger to generate both rectilinear and turning motions of a multi-segmented robot. Each segment of the miniaturized robot is actuated by a pair of solenoids, and in-phase and out-of-phase actuations ...

Challenges of Precision Assembly With a Miniaturized Robot [PDF]
IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology, 2010 The first part of the paper describes the miniaturized robot Parvus, which is suitable for desktop factory applications. The Parvus is well equipped for pick-and-place of micro parts in precision assembly. The challenges of precision assembly are discussed considering the technical data and behavior of the robot.

Steerable miniature jumping robot [PDF]
Autonomous Robots, 2009 Jumping is used in nature by many small animals to locomote in cluttered environments or in rough terrain. It offers small systems the benefit of overcoming relatively large obstacles at a low energetic cost. In order to be able to perform repetitive jumps in a given direction, it is important to be able to upright after landing, steer and jump again ...

A miniature 7g jumping robot [PDF]
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008 Jumping can be a very efficient mode of locomotion for small robots to overcome large obstacles and travel in natural, rough terrain. In this paper we present the development and characterization of a novel 5 cm, 7g jumping robot. It can jump obstacles more than 27 times its own size and outperforms existing jumping robots by one order of magnitude ...

Development of a Miniature Robot for Swarm Robotic Application [PDF]
International Journal of Computer and Electrical Engineering, 2009 Biological swarm is a fascinating behavior of nature that has been successfully applied to solve human problem especially for robotics application. The high economical cost and large area required to execute swarm robotics scenarios does not permit experimentation with real robot.
