A Novel Soft Biomimetic Microrobot with Two Motion Attitudes
A variety of microrobots have commonly been used in the fields of biomedical engineering and underwater operations during the last few years. Thanks to their compact structure, low driving power, and simple control systems, microrobots can complete a variety of underwater tasks, even in limited spaces. To accomplish our objectives, we previously designed several bio-inspired underwater microro...
متن کاملA biomimetic underwater microrobot with multifunctional locomotion
Underwater microrobots are in urgent demand for applications such as pollution detection and video mapping in limited space. Compact structure, multi-functionality, and flexibility are normally considered incompatible characteristics for underwater microrobots. Nevertheless, to accomplish our objectives, we designed a novel inchworm-inspired biomimetic locomotion prototype with ionic polymer me...
متن کاملA novel hybrid wireless microrobot
In this paper, we propose a hybrid microrobot concept to increase dynamic efficiency and adapt these systems for use in various working environments. The microrobot consists of a head capable of spiral motion, legs capable of paddling motion, and fish-like fins. We developed a prototype with a rotatable head and a body that has legs and fins. Additionally, we developed a control system and carr...
متن کاملBiomimetic ratcheting motion of a soft, slender, sessile gel.
Inspired by the locomotion of terrestrial limbless animals, we study the motion of a lubricated rod of a hydrogel on a soft substrate. We show that it is possible to mimic observed biological gaits by vibrating the substrate and by using a variety of mechanisms to break longitudinal and lateral symmetry. Our simple theory and experiments provide a unified view of the creeping, undulating, and i...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Novel Magnetic Actuated Microrobot with Spiral Motion Using Electromagnetic Actuation System
In this study, a magnetic spiral microrobot is proposed for tasks such as diagnosis, drug delivery, and minimally invasive surgery. It has a compact structure with a wireless power supply, low voltage, and a long working time. The microrobot is comprised of a spiral outer shell based on the Archimedes screw structure and an O-ring magnet for an actuator. The Archimedes screw structure produces ...
