Summary

Description

Our research is focused on the challenges of engineering robotic systems down to sub-millimeter size scales. We work both on small mobile robots (robotic insects for defense and disaster search scenarios), as well as microfabrication in support of larger robotic systems (tactile sensing or medical robotics for example).These goals result in compelling research in a number of supporting areas: micromechanisms, microfabrication, microactuators, locomotion, sensing, control, power, integration, etc.
