Harvard University's Microbotics Lab Develops Piezoelectric Dual-Plate Multi-Legged Robot

Introduction The design inspiration for multi-segment robots comes from multi-legged animals in nature. What advantages do these robots have compared to traditional forms? Professor Robert J. Wood from Harvard University’s Microbotics Lab has introduced a segmented multi-legged micro-robot, with a related paper titled “Myriapod-like ambulation of a segmented microrobot”. This micro-robot uses piezoelectric dual-plates as … Read more

3-Millimeter Diameter Micro Magnetic-Controlled Robot Simulates Surgeons' Dexterous Movements

Introduction Related research paper published in the recent issue of “Science Robotics”. In traditional brain surgeries, doctors often need to remove a portion of the skull to access hard-to-reach areas of the brain or tumors. This surgical method is highly invasive, carries significant risks, and results in long recovery times for patients. However, a new … Read more
