To deploy robots outside of laboratory environments, they must be able to locomote on natural, unstructured terrain. While perception and control strategies for terrain navigation and obstacle avoidance have been developed for human-scale robots, microrobots are often too small to carry the sensors,…
The ability to efficiently and precisely manipulate objects in inaccessible environments is becoming an essential requirement for many applications of mobile robots, particularly at small sizes. Here, we propose and implement a mobile micromanipulation solution using a piezoelectric microgripper int
Here we present HAMR-Jr, a 22.5mm, 320mg quadrupedal microrobot. With eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, HAMR-Jr is, to our knowledge, the most mechanically dexterous legged robot at its scale and is capable of high-speed locomotion (13.91bodylengthss-1) at a variety of stride frequenc…
