Small-scale terrestrial robots have a number of applications where operation in confined spaces is required. Because of their low mass (less than five grams) and small size (less than five centimeters), their mechanical design requires careful analysis of multiple subsystems (e.g., actuation, power,…
Dynamic tactile displays represent a class of haptic devices of particular interest to the blind and visually impaired. Despite many years of research and development efforts, the low-cost, low-power, compact tactile display remains elusive. This paper describes a low-cost electromechanical actuator…
Full autonomy remains a challenge for miniature robotic platforms due to mass and size requirements of on-board power and control electronics. This paper presents a solution to these challenges with a 2.3g autonomous legged robot. An off-the-shelf optical mouse sensor is adapted for use on the Harva…
